Remove the sweet potatoes and let them cool slightly.

Cut the sweet potatoes in half lengthwise and scoop out the flesh into a bowl, leaving a small border.

Add butter, sour cream, cheddar cheese, green onions, salt, black pepper, cinnamon, nutmeg, and garlic powder to the bowl with the sweet potato flesh.

Mash the mixture until smooth and well combined.

Spoon the sweet potato mixture back into the potato skins.

Sprinkle paprika and additional cheese on top if desired.

Return the stuffed sweet potatoes to the oven and bake for an additional 15-20 minutes until heated through and golden on top.

Serve warm, garnished with extra green onions.
