Prep: 22 min | Cook: 45 min | Total: 1 hr 22 min
Cost: $5.18 total, $1.30 per serving
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Japanese Sweet Potatoes (medium size, about 6‑8 oz each)
- 4 slices American Cheese Slices (individually wrapped, full‑fat)
- 1 tablespoon Olive Oil (for rubbing on potatoes)
- 1 teaspoon Kosher Salt (to season potatoes)
- 1/2 teaspoon Freshly Ground Black Pepper (optional, for seasoning)
Instructions
Preheat Oven
Set the oven to 400°F (200°C) and let it fully preheat.
Time: PT5M
Temperature: 400°F
Prepare Sweet Potatoes
Wash the Japanese sweet potatoes, pat dry, then pierce each several times with a fork. Rub with olive oil and sprinkle evenly with salt and pepper.
Time: PT5M
Roast Sweet Potatoes
Place the potatoes on a parchment‑lined baking sheet and roast for 45 minutes, turning once halfway through, until they are fork‑tender and the skins are lightly crisp.
Time: PT45M
Temperature: 400°F
Cool Slightly
Remove the potatoes from the oven and let them sit for about 5 minutes so they are hot but safe to handle.
Time: PT5M
Slice and Scoop
Using a sharp knife, cut each potato lengthwise in half. If the interior cavity is small, gently scoop out a thin layer with a small spoon to make room for the cheese.
Time: PT5M
Stuff with Cheese
Place one slice of American cheese inside each potato half, spreading it to cover the interior surface.
Time: PT2M
Roll and Seal
Starting at the cut edge, gently roll each half around the cheese to form a tube. Press the seam gently; the residual heat will melt the cheese slightly, helping it seal.
Time: PT2M
Rest and Serve
Allow the assembled tubes to rest for 2 minutes so the cheese fully melts. Serve immediately while hot.
Time: PT2M
