ingredients
- 4 large sweet potatoes
- 1 cup cottage cheese
- 2 tablespoons chives, chopped
- 2 tablespoons mint, chopped
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Extra mint and chives for garnish
Method
Step 1
Rinse the sweet potatoes well and leave the skin. Prick with a fork or knife all the sides of the sweet potatoes. Place the potatoes in the oven for 1h to 1h15 at 400°F. They should be tender by pricking a knife, if it’s still a bit hard, then leave it longer in the oven.
Step 2
Just before the end of cooking, prepare the cheese. Mix the cottage cheese with chives, mint, salt and pepper.
Step 3
When the sweet potatoes are cooked, open them with a knife and season with salt and pepper. Then add the cheese and a few mint leaves and chopped chives. Serve.
