• Meanwhile, toss the chicken with 1/2 cup of the Buffalo sauce, half the pepper jack cheese and the garlic powder in a medium bowl.
• Cut the potatoes in half lengthwise and scoop out the flesh into a medium bowl, taking care to keep the skins intact (if the potato is too hot, use a clean kitchen towel to hold). Place the skins on the prepared baking sheet.

Stuff the skins with the mashed sweet potatoes, and then top each skin with the remaining Buffalo chicken. Sprinkle with the remaining cheese and bake until the cheese is melted, about 5 minutes.
