July 26, 2019 By Steven Ashton Leave a Comment

This is a simple topping to place on a baked potato. It is also excellent cold as a snack. Toppings are unlimited. Macadamia nuts or pecans would be a good substitute.

Ingredients

2 large sweet potatoes
1/2 cup crushed walnuts, soaked and dehydrated
4 Tbsp ghee or clarified butter

Instructions

Slice sweet potatoes in half lengthwise, place on cookie sheet lined with parchment paper.
Rub potatoes all over with some of the ghee and place flat side down on the parchment paper.
Bake at 400°F for 40 minutes or until sweet potatoes start to caramelize.
Flip sweet potatoes over to expose flat side and mash in the skin with a fork.
Add a tablespoon of ghee to each piece and sprinkle crushed walnuts on top.
Serve while hot as a side.
