Hasselback Sweet Potatoes Recipes

HASSELBACK SWEET POTATOES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425°. Cut thin slices lengthwise from bottoms of sweet potatoes to allow them to lie flat; discard slices. Place potatoes flat side down; cut crosswise into 1/8-in. slices, leaving them intact at bottom. Arrange the sweet potatoes in a greased 13x9-in. baking pan., In a small bowl, whisk together butter, brown sugar, orange juice and orange zest. Spoon half the butter mixture evenly over the sweet potatoes; sprinkle with salt and pepper. Combine cream cheese, dates and sage; spread between potato slices., Bake, covered, until potatoes are just becoming tender, 45-50 minutes. Remove pan from oven and uncover; spoon the remaining butter mixture over potatoes and top with pecans. Return to oven and bake until potatoes are completely tender and topping is golden brown, 25-30 minutes longer. If desired, serve with additional chopped sage.

HASSELBACK SWEET POTATOES

Steps:

• Position an oven rack in the center of the oven and preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Shave a thin sliver from one side of each potato to give it a flat surface to stand on while you slice it. Make thin slices into the potato about 1/16-inch thick, stopping before you cut all the way through. (Placing a chopstick on either side of the potato while you slice it can help stop the blade before it cuts all the way through.) Put each potato on a separate sheet of foil. Shape the foil around the potatoes to wrap them, but leave the tops open and exposed. Put the potatoes on a rimmed baking sheet.
• Melt the butter in a small skillet over medium-high heat, swirling occasionally, until browned and nutty, 2 to 3 minutes. Stir in the brown sugar, vanilla, cinnamon and salt. Drizzle the butter mixture over the potatoes and pinch the foil together on top to seal the potato inside. Bake for 45 minutes, then let cool for a few moments. Remove the potatoes from the foil, put them on a serving platter and drizzle with the sauce leftover in each foil packet. Sprinkle with the pecans before serving.

BACON HASSELBACK SWEET POTATOES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
• To a large cast-iron pan, add the bacon in an even layer. Turn the heat to medium and cook until crispy, around 4 minutes per side. Drain on paper towels and set aside. When cool enough to handle, break into pieces.
• To the bacon fat in the pan, add the maple syrup, paprika and 2 teaspoons salt. Set aside.
• One at a time, place a potato between the handles of 2 wooden spoons or 2 chopsticks. Slice each potato into 1/8-inch-thick slices; the spoon handles will prevent the knife from cutting all the way through. Place the potatoes in the pan and baste with the bacon fat/maple syrup mixture all over, including the bottoms and in between the slices. Roast until the potatoes are soft, basting halfway through, about 1 hour. Remove from the oven and add bacon between the slices. Place on a serving platter and garnish with the chives and salt to taste.

HASSELBACK SWEET POTATOES

Steps:

• Gather the ingredients.
• Preheat the oven to 425 F.
• Line a baking dish or rimmed baking sheet with foil and then brush the foil with olive oil or butter.
• Scrub the sweet potatoes. Leave the peels on or peel them. If the potato is very round and rolls easily, cut a small slice off the bottom so it will be stable and won't roll as you make the cuts.
• Place the sweet potato on a cutting board and put a wooden spoon against each long side so the potato is surrounded by the spoon handles. This will make it much easier to make the slices without cutting through. Or use a pair of chopsticks (thick ends). With a large, sharp knife, carefully cut the potatoes, making the slices about 1/8 to 1/4-inch apart. Make sure to cut straight down, and keep the potato within the spoon handles. Repeat with the remaining potatoes.
• Arrange the sweet potatoes in the prepared baking pan and brush with about half of the melted butter. Sprinkle them lightly with kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper.
• Bake the sweet potatoes for 10 minutes. Brush the sweet potatoes with more butter and then continue baking-brushing and basting every 10 minutes-for about 50 to 60 minutes or until they are tender.
• While the sweet potatoes are baking, toast the walnuts. Spread the nuts out in a dry skillet and place it over medium heat. Cook until the nuts are lightly toasted and aromatic, stirring constantly. Remove to a plate to stop the cooking process.
• Remove the sweet potatoes from the oven and drizzle them with some maple syrup and then sprinkle with the toasted nuts. Make sure to get some between the slices.
• Return the sweet potatoes to the oven and bake for about 5 minutes longer.
• Serve immediately.

HASSELBACK SWEET POTATOES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• Place a potato between the handles of 2 wooden spoons or chopsticks. Slice the potato into thin slices, leaving 1/4 inch at the bottom unsliced; the spoons or chopsticks will prevent you slicing all the way through. Repeat with the remaining potatoes.
• Mix together the butter, brown sugar and cinnamon with a pinch of salt and pepper in a small bowl.
• Place the sweet potatoes on a baking sheet. Using a spatula, spread the butter mixture all over the potatoes. Bake until tender and golden, 40 to 45 minutes. Transfer to a platter and garnish with the sage and rosemary.

HASSELBACK SWEET POTATOES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil. Make a series of 1/8-inch slices along each potato, slicing 2/3 of the way through. Stir together the butter, oil, thyme, garlic, 1/4 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper in a small bowl. Rub the potatoes all over with the mixture, getting in between the slices. Place on the baking sheet and roast until the center of the potatoes are tender and the outside is crisp, 50 minutes to 1 hour. Halfway through the roasting time, remove the potatoes from the oven and run a fork gently across the tops of the potatoes, using light pressure, to fan the slices and separate them from one another. Meanwhile, stir the yogurt and scallions with a pinch salt and a pinch pepper. Serve the sauce with the potatoes.

CHIPOTLE HASSELBACK SWEET POTATOES

Steps:

• Heat oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Slice the potatoes to about three-quarters of the way through at 1cm intervals. Brush with ½ tbsp of the olive oil, place on a baking tray and bake for 35-40 mins. Meanwhile, mix together the remaining oil, the chipotle, lime zest and juice.
• Remove the potatoes from the oven and brush all over, and down into the slits, with the chipotle mixture. Return to the oven for another 15-20 mins or until cooked through. Scatter with the coriander leaves just before serving.
