Loaded sweet potato with spinach, bacon and cheese is the best dinner that I’ve had recently.

I’m not a sweet potato person.

I don’t eat them often. And I buy them rarely.

However, after reading many recipes with sweet potato I’ve decided to give a second chance to this vegetable.

I have so much spinach at my home all the time and I thought that sweet potato plus spinach would taste perfect. I was definitely right.

I added some bacon and cheese. The whole loaded sweet potato tasted amazing.

I couldn’t stop eating.

At first I baked sweet potato in the oven by itself. Then I saute some spinach with bacon on the pan.

And I loaded my sweet potato with yummy ingredients and baked again. The whole process was so easy and the outcome was incredible.

I’m very passionate about potatoes and I hope that you found my other delicious recipe Basil Roasted Red Potatoes. A couple of simple ingredients and an amazing dish can be made.

After my loaded sweet potato I know that I will buy them more often and they will be seen a lot on my plate during dinner time.

There are many simple and tasty sweet potato recipes on the internet. I’m so happy that I can browse and decide what else can I do with this vegetable.

I have so many ideas in my head right now. In the meantime enjoy loaded sweet potato with spinach, bacon and cheddar cheese. I can tell it’s very good.
