How To Make Gouda-Chorizo Loaded Sweet Potato Skins
- Bake the sweet potatoes. Preheat oven at 375 degrees F. Pierce and bake sweet potatoes on a lined baking sheet for 60 minutes, or until fork tender. Cut sweet potatoes in half and let cool for 5-10 minutes.
- Scoop out the sweet potatoes. Once cool, scoop the sweet potato out of the peel, leaving a thin layer inside with the skin. Drizzle olive oil on skins and bake for about 5 minutes until crispy.
- Make the sweet potato filling. In a bowl, mash the sweet potato with black beans, cumin, chili powder, scallions, some of the chorizo (save the rest for garnish), salt and pepper until well combined.
- Assemble the sweet potato skins. Remove skins from oven and fill each one with the sweet potato mixture then top with shredded gouda cheese. Bake again for 5 minutes, or until cheese is melted. Top with sour cream, chorizo and scallions. Serve immediately.

Oh my-lanta… These look amazing!!! I love love love potatoes in any form, but hubby never sees them as an “actual” dinner. Maybe I can change his mind with “loaded” potato skins. And I love the idea of swapping greek yogurt for sour cream as a protein boost!
Jamie Silva says
Yes! I’m sure he will love these!
