1 Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
2 Rub olive oil over cut sides of each sweet potato and sprinkle evenly with 1 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper. Place potatoes, cut side down on a parchment-lined baking sheet and bake until browned around the edges, about 45 minutes. Let stand before serving, cut side down, 10 to 15 minutes.
3 Meanwhile, warm barbecue pork on the stovetop or in the microwave until heated throughout, 3 to 5 minutes. Top each potato evenly with pulled pork, cheese, onion, and pickles.
4 Combine mayonnaise with remaining salt and pepper, apple cider vinegar, Worcestershire sauce, brown sugar, garlic powder, and cayenne in a small bowl; whisk until well blended. Drizzle sauce over potatoes before serving.
