Ingredients

4 medium sweet potatoes

1 tablespoon olive oil

1 teaspoon salt

1/2 teaspoon black pepper

4 tablespoons butter

1 cup sour cream

1/2 cup finely chopped red onion

2 tablespoons chopped fresh chives

1 teaspoon dried oregano

1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 400°F.

2. Scrub and dry the 4 medium sweet potatoes thoroughly. Pierce each potato several times with a fork.

3. Rub the potatoes with 1 tablespoon olive oil, then sprinkle evenly with 1 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper.

4. Place potatoes on a baking sheet and bake for 50 to 60 minutes, until tender and easily pierced with a knife.

5. Remove from oven and slice each potato open lengthwise.

6. Add 1 tablespoon butter to each potato and fluff the inside with a fork.

7. Top evenly with 1 cup sour cream divided among the potatoes.

8. Sprinkle with 1/2 cup chopped red onion, 2 tablespoons chopped chives, 1 teaspoon dried oregano, and 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes.

9. Serve immediately while warm.

Notes

For the fluffiest texture, avoid wrapping the sweet potatoes in foil while baking. Direct heat allows the skins to crisp slightly and enhances the natural caramelization inside.
