There are some things I’ll just never be able to grasp. Like math. Or how the trashcan fills up so fast. Or where all my socks go. Or the difference between a sweet potato and a yam. Honestly, I think I’ve looked it up on Google at least 5 times in the past and 3 times today. That makes like a million different times and I still just don’t understand. Did I mention I can’t do math?
I do this for you guys.
To try to be political correct about potatoes (read: PCAP- it’s a thing) and not hurt you with my incorrect words on the internet machine. Some things, though, just don’t resonate with me and I can never, ever remember. And each time I go to the grocery store, I get even more mixed up. I used to think that sweet potatoes were orange (which I could have swore I read online), but then I went to my local Albertsons and they were listed as yams. There must be some sort of government conspiracy to try to confuse me. That must be where all of our tax dollars are going (!).
ANYWAYS. All I know for certain is that these taste good. Reeaaaal good. Like, pick one up with your hands and walk around your apartment eating them kinda good. They even come in their own little serving potato boat.
I mean, I don’t think you really could go wrong with the combination of flavors and ingredients that are going on in these ‘taters. You’ve got, of course, the sweet and vibrant sweet potatoes, creamy goat cheese, and a brown sugar pecan streusel that straddles the whole thing (did I really just use those two words together again?). Think a sweet potato casserole, but upped a notch by the flavor of the cheese and in their own adorable serving portion. It’s a sweet and salty combination made in heaven!
“Pin me, please!”- friendly potato infograph
With a name like Twice Baked Goat Cheese Sweet Potatoes with Pecan Streusel, how could you go wrong? Did I mention they’re also a relatively healthy and nutritious side dish?
What are you waiting for?! Stuff yo’ face!
Linking up with WIAW to help share these gems! 
Not only does this dish look divine, but you get it all for 170 calories? Oh my, what a win win situation.
Give me all the sweet potatoes! These look incredible. I’ve been looking for a more ‘exciting’ sweet tater recipe for the last week and this may have just topped my list!
I am a sweet potato addict (any never knew the difference either).. pinning this for sure!
That has GOT to taste as good as it looks! yum yum!!
Oh my gosh, I love this. Sweet potatoes are my favorite! I also love sweet potatoes with goat cheese so this is even better.
Ommmmg these are genius–you are genius. I actually have a singular sweet potato sitting on my counter waiting to be eaten but I wasn’t sure how I wanted to prepare it. THIS IS IT. Pinning
I love stuffed sweet potatoes!! YUM! One of my favorite weeknight meals. I’ve obviously pinned this recipe.. pecan streusel?!?! Yes please.
I love love love sweet pots, this looks amazzzzzzzing. mouth is watering
Oh my gosh this looks like PERFECTION. I absolutely adore sweet potatoes! <3
Oooo, I am crazy about both sweet potatoes and goat cheese. Sounds great!
So EVERYONE tries to do sweet potatoes like regular potatoes, and I just can’t get down with that. But the idea of embracing the sweetness of these spuds and then adding to it is downright brilliant. This is great!
Looks SO good. This would be an awesome Thanksgiving or Christmas recipe!
Yes, please! I’ll take a dozen. MMkay thanks. 😀
I am with you on the whole yam vs. sweet potato issue…so confusing. Either way, these look delicious!
I love sweet potatoes/yams! I honestly don’t think I know the difference as I call them all sweet potatoes. This recipe sounds like a great way to use those nice little orange things.
These look delicious!!! I’ve stuffed sweet potatoes with feta cheese before and they were (obviously) amazing, but I’ll have to try this recipe next time!
I’m waiting to pick up some sweet potatoes (not yams…Uh I can’t remember….) to stuff my face. Yes to every single ingredient in this recipe! OBSESSED.
These look AMAZING! I love the idea of adding goat cheese as well! And heyyy I just received a mysterious delivery of roasted sweet potatoes to my car…(yay for living close to home and having parents who like to bring you food :))
OMG…you are making me salivate right now
OH MY GOSH these look fabulous!! I’m totally with you on the whole sweet potato/yam thing. I’ve looked it up SO many times, lol! I still don’t know! I just always say sweet potato
Hahahahaha I’m so with you on the things you just don’t get (seriously- sweet potato vs yam??) except math.. I’m such a nerd. But seriously I could eat these for dayyyss!
This looks delicious! I love sweet potatoes. Must give this recipe a try
Thanks for sharing!
I. LOVE. SWEET POTATO.
Oh my goodness.. this is like the PERFECT recipe. I could never get tired of them. 😉
You have my mouth watering with the description and pictures. Seriously, with that combo, you simple can’t go wrong. Nope. Never.
I may or may not of been favoriting and saving your recipes lately. 😀
OMG I LOVE YOUR NEW BLOG LOOK!!!!!! And I LOVE the sound of this recipe!! Look, I have the same issues in differentiating sweet potatoes and yams so we’ll just leave it at that… YUMM!
Ooohhh wow. Drooling. These look amazing, and your pictures are beautiful.
The yam/sweet potato thing bothers me so much. I just wish I had a straight answer! (:
When you say goat cheese in this recipe do you mean goat cream cheese or goat feta cheese? Thanks.
Your grocery store should carry just “goat cheese”. It’s creamy and not cream cheese or feta cheese. Try asking around or looking in the cheese department :)!
Yum! You’ve transformed sweet potatoes into something even more incredible! I love how you added tangy goat cheese to complement the natural sweetness of the potato.
Thanks so much, Tiffany! They were delicious!
Made these tonight ~ delicious!
Awesome! So glad they turned out well
