I found this on Food Network, so yummy.

Ingredients

• 6 sweet potatoes, even in size and scrubbed
• 4 tablespoons brown sugar
• 4 tablespoons butter, room temperature
• 4 ounces cream cheese, room temperature
• 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
• 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
• Salt and freshly ground black pepper

Directions

Preheat oven to 375 degrees.

• Place sweet potatoes on sheet tray and bake for 1 hour or until soft. Remove from oven and let stand until cool enough to handle.
• Split potatoes and remove the flesh to a medium sized bowl, reserving skins. In another bowl, add brown sugar, butter and cream cheese and the all of the spices and mash with a fork or rubber spatula.
• Add the butter and cream cheese mixture to the sweet potato flesh and fold in completely. Add the filling back to the potato skins and place on a half sheet tray. Bake for 15 minutes or until golden brown.
