Meanwhile in a deep saute' pan heat the olive oil and cook the onion for 2 to 3 minutes until soft. Add the garlic and cook for one more minute. Add the entire bag of spinach and scallions, cover and cook 3 to 4 minutes until the spinach has wilted.

When the sweet potatoes are cooked, let them cool for 5 minutes. Carefully slice each one in half and scoop out inside of potato into a bowl. Add cream cheese, buttermilk, salt and pepper and mash together until smooth.

Using a pastry brush, coat the outside of each potato skin with the vegetable oil.. Fill each of the shells with the filling and top with a sprinkle of Parmesan Cheese.
