Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Pierce each sweet potato several times with a fork, place on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, and roast for about 50-60 minutes, until tender.
  2. In a large pot, melt butter with olive oil over low heat. Add onions and a pinch of salt, stirring occasionally for about 50-60 minutes until caramelized.
  3. Remove sweet potatoes from the oven, let cool slightly, slice open lengthwise, and fluff the insides with a fork.
  4. Sprinkle grated Gruyere cheese and thyme inside each potato, pressing gently. Return them to the oven for an additional 5-10 minutes.
  5. In a skillet, melt remaining butter over medium heat. Add minced garlic and panko breadcrumbs, and toast for about 5-6 minutes until golden brown.
  6. Top each sweet potato with caramelized onions and toasted panko. Add a dollop of yogurt or sour cream and garnish with chives before serving.
