| Sweet Potatoes on the Half-Shell |
|
| Bake or microwave sweet potatoes until soft. Cut baked potatoes in half lengthwise. Scoop out potato pulp into a mixing bowl, leaving a 1/4-inch shell; set shells aside. Combine dry milk powder and milk and stir until dissolved. Add milk mixture, cottage cheese and brown sugar to potato pulp. Beat with a hand mixer until smooth. Spoon mixture into potato shells. For added effect, add the last third of mixture through a piping bag fitted with a decorating tip. Sprinkle a mixture of granulated sugar and cinnamon on top. Bake at 350 degrees for 20 to 30 minutes or until hot.
