Step 2
Meanwhile, in a large skillet, heat remaining oil over medium-high. Add garlic; cook until golden, 1 to 2 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, transfer garlic to a paper towel to drain.
Step 3
Add as much kale as will fit in the skillet; season with salt and pepper. Continue to add kale as the leaves cook down. Cook, tossing frequently until tender, 3 to 5 minutes. Stir in vinegar and red-pepper flakes.
Step 4
Open each potato; add salt and pepper. Top with ricotta, kale, and garlic.

Everything about this recipe is awesome. Go for whole milk ricotta.

I just discovered this recipe and I've got to say, I never would have imagined how good Kale and Sweet Potatoes go together! I added a touch of cinnamon (my fave) as well and this was just a wonderfully tasty meal. I'm going through peri-menopause and trying to eat healthier, and your site is very helpful. I also recently watched a great documentary called "Hot Flash Havoc" that really answered a lot of my questions, if anyone's interested you can check it out here: http://bit.ly/11XQcWS
