- 4 medium sweet potatoes cooked until fork tender and cooled slightly.
- salt and pepper to taste
- ½ cup coconut milk not coconut water
- 1 teaspoon fresh lime zest plus additional for garnish (if desired)

Cut a slice off the top off each cooked and cooled sweet potato.
Scoop out the inside of each potato leaving behind enough potato on the skins to form a sturdy "boat"
Place the scooped potato into a bowl and mash with the coconut milk, salt, pepper, and 1 teaspoon lime zest.
Fill the potato boats with the mashed sweet potato mixture and dollop each with butter.
Bake in a preheated 350-degree oven for 15-20 minutes.
Sprinkle each potato with crushed coconut chips (optional).
