Ingredients
Uncooked sweet potato
2 medium
Olive oil
1 tsp
Shallot
½ cup(s), chopped
Cooked chicken sausage
6 oz, smoked variety, chopped
Apple
1 small, peeled, diced
Kosher salt

Preheat oven to 350°F.
2
Prick a few holes in potatoes with a fork. Place potatoes on a microwave safe plate and cook until tender, about 5 to 7 minutes.
3
When potatoes have slightly cooled, cut each in half lengthwise, scoop out flesh into a large bowl and mash; reserve potato skins.
4
Heat oil in a medium nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add shallot; cook, stirring frequently, until softened, about 3 to 5 minutes. Add sausage and apple; cook, stirring occasionally, for 5 minutes.
5
Add sausage mixture, salt, and sage to bowl with potato flesh; stir to combine. Gently fold in 3 tbsp cheese; evenly divide mixture back into reserved potato skins and sprinkle each with 1 tsp remaining cheese. Bake until heated through and cheese is melted, about 10 to 15 minutes. Serve garnished with sage leaves.
