Sweet potato ‘ballet slippers’ with pepitas

Serves 4

Pepita is the Spanish word for pumpkin or squash seeds. Look for them in the bulk section of a well-stocked market. They’re packed with nutrition and add a salty crunch to creamy, mashed sweet potatoes. After baking, the potato skins look just like ballet slippers.

Wait a minute-- this recipe is attached to an article titled "A week of suppers for the family"-- but it takes over an hour and a half to make, not including prep time! How many families have an hour and a half to spend in the kitchen on a week night?
