Hasselback Sweet Potatoes
4 servings
You can make these savory or sweet, I chose savory today. You could also use this recipe on a russet potato.
Here is what you need:
4 medium sweet potatoes
2 tablespoon unsalted butter, melted
2 TBS olive oil
2 clove garlic, finely grated
2 tsp fresh thyme leaves, chopped
1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt or sour cream
2 scallion, chopped
Kosher salt and fresh ground pepper
1 to 2 TBS chopped fresh chives (optional)
Here is what you need to do:
Preheat your oven to 425 degrees and line a baking sheet with foil.
In a small bowl, mix together the yogurt, scallions adding a little salt and pepper. Set in the fridge
Scrub your potatoes and cut off the very ends. Make a series of 1/8-inch slices along each potato, slicing 2/3 of the way through the potato.
Mix together the butter, oil, thyme, garlic, 1/2 tsp salt and 1/2 tsp pepper in a small bowl. Place potatoes on the baking sheet. Rub the potatoes with half of the oil/butter mixture, including the bottom. Make sure you get in between the slices. Place the potatoes in the oven and roast for about 25 minutes.
Remove from oven take a fork and gently fan out the slices a bit then slather with the rest of the oil/butter mixture. Put them back in the oven for another 25 minutes.
When the potatoes are done, serve with the yogurt sauce. Let's Eat!!
