Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Preheat oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C).

Step 2

Make a long, narrow cut lengthwise down the center of each sweet potato. Wrap each potato in aluminum foil.

Step 3

Bake potatoes directly on the rack of the preheated oven until tender, about 1 hour.

Step 4

Mash avocado flesh, salt, and pepper together in a bowl with a fork until mostly smooth. Fold onion into avocado mixture. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate until chilled, about 45 minutes.

Step 5

Remove potatoes from foil and slice open, pushing the two ends of each together to open the potato. Divide 1/2 of the butter between the potato openings. Spoon avocado mixture into each potato and top each with remaining butter.
