  1. My one and only question on this is: how do you chop a sweet potato, if the potato itself isn’t nice like a russet? This is an awesome idea & family would like it, but I look for easy ways of things & cutting raw sweet potatoes is a hard thing to do….

    1. The sweet potatoes have to be baked first. You can also cook them in the microwave, or wrap them in foil and cook them overnight in the crockpot.

  2. Made this last night and I have to admit, it totally surpassed expectations…even the nortiriously picky 10 year old asked for seconds. Next time I would mix some cheese with the filling (kids suggestion) and I served with a grating of cinnamon on top (which was awesome!)

  3. Hi – The recipe doesn’t say to bake the sweet potatoes first. Is that what is needed?

  4. Does anyone know how to calculate the WW smart points without the saturated fats stat?

    1. Jackie, the best way to calculate that would most likely be through using “My Fitness Pal”. Simply login and use their calorie counter to determine those WW and saturated fat numbers. Here’s the link >> https://www.myfitnesspal.com/ We hope that helps!
