How to Make Twice Baked Sweet Potato For One

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Wash and pierce the sweet potato several times with a fork.

  7. Spoon the mixture back into the sweet potato skins.
  8. Bake for an additional 10-15 minutes, or until heated through and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
