They serve these at a local restaurant here in TX. This is NOT a casserole! These guys are dressed for dinner in their best jackets! The WHOLE potato, baked and split like a white baked potato. You just gotta try these to believe how simple and delish they really are! Enjoy!

I usually have sweet potatoes with butter/brown sugar/cinnamon but the addition of the extra spices in this recipe is really nice. I did add about 1/4 cup brown sugar. Also, I was under the impression that sweet potatoes were best when baked at a low temperature for, well, all day, but these turned out perfect at 350--I had to bake mine for 1.5 hours (old oven). I'll use this spice combo from now on; the quanity if perfect for 4 potatoes.

I usually have sweet potatoes with butter and a sprinkle of salt, but I enjoyed this recipe. Even better, try a big dollop of sour cream on top!! I don't like the sweetened version

Love this blend of seasoning on the sweet potatoes! I found though, that gosh darn, I love a sweet, sweet potatoe- so I ended up adding 1/3 cup of brown sugar to the seasoning mix. I'm telling ya, it's soooo great!!

I had never heard of doing a sweet potato any way other than frying, baking (adding brown sugar and butter, only) or stewing, or the casserole, but this is an excellent change, will definitely do it again.
