HASSELBACK SWEET POTATOES WITH BROWN SUGAR

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425°F.
• Wash potatoes, scrub, and dry thoroughly.
• Place two chopsticks on a cutting board and place one sweet potato in between them, with the long-axis of the potato running parallel to the chopsticks.
• Using a sharp knife, make cuts approximately ⅛-¼-inch apart starting at least ½-inch from the end of the sweet potato. Stop cutting when your knife hits the chopsticks so the bottom is still connected.
• Repeat this until the entire potato is sliced thinly. Do this with the other 5 potatoes.
• Place potatoes on a parchment paper-lined baking sheet.
• Whisk together oil, butter, salt, sugar, and cinnamon in a medium-sized bowl. Use a pastry brush and brush half of the mixture over all of the potatoes. Spread apart the slices using your fingers or a fork to ensure the sauce gets in-between the pieces.
• Cover the baking sheet with a piece of aluminum foil and bake in oven for 25 minutes. Brush remaining sauce over the potatoes and return to oven, uncovered, for an additional 20-25 minutes.
• Once potatoes are cooked through, sprinkle on chopped pecans and reduce oven temperature to 375 °F. Return potatoes to oven for 5-10 minutes, or until pecans are lightly toasted.
• Serve potatoes with additional sugar and cinnamon, if desired, and serve immediately. Enjoy!

HASSELBACK SWEET POTATO CASSEROLE

Steps:

• Heat oven to 375°F. In large bowl, stir together 3 tablespoons melted butter, the brown sugar, vinegar, shallot, salt and pepper. Add potato slices to butter mixture; toss to thoroughly coat slices.
• Pick up potatoes by the handful, and place slices one on top of another, forming a small stack. Place potato stack on its side in ungreased 8-inch square (2-quart) baking dish. Continue making small stacks with remaining potatoes, and arranging them side-by-side in dish to form rows of tightly packed stacked slices. Scrape bowl for any remaining butter mixture, and spread over potatoes.
• Bake 1 hour. In small bowl, mix bread crumbs, 1 tablespoon melted butter and the thyme. Sprinkle casserole with bread crumb mixture. Bake 12 to 17 minutes or until potatoes are fork-tender and bread crumb mixture is golden brown. Garnish with parsley. Let stand 10 minutes before serving.

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.

HASSELBACK SWEET POTATOES WITH ROASTED MARSHMALLOWS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with foil.
• Scrub the sweet potatoes. Slice each one thinly, stopping about three-quarters of the way through. Place on the lined baking sheet.
• Whisk together the melted butter, brown sugar, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg and salt in a bowl. Pour the mixture over the sweet potatoes very thoroughly. Sprinkle with kosher salt. Cover with foil and bake for 40 minutes.
• When ready to serve, put 2 marshmallows on a stick or metal skewer and hold it over an open flame until roasted, slightly charred and golden brown (see Cook's Note). Top a sweet potato with the roasted marshmallows. Repeat with the remaining marshmallows and sweet potatoes.

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.
