Hasselback Sweet Potato Recipe
Description
This dish involves cutting sweet potatoes into thin slices that remain connected at the base, allowing flavorful ingredients to be layered throughout. Baking the potatoes at a high temperature softens them while retaining a slight firmness. Adding slices of cheddar cheese and cooked bacon between the slices infuses richness and savory bites throughout the potato.
Using a combination of Parmesan cheese and Italian dressing, drizzled over the top, provides a tangy and nutty finish once broiled alongside chopped fresh chives, which add a mild onion note and color contrast. Broiling for a few minutes melts the cheeses and crisps the edges of the potatoes slightly, bringing a pleasing combination of textures and flavors.
This recipe serves as a hearty side dish, offering a more visually interesting and flavorful alternative to regular baked sweet potatoes. It works well alongside roasted meats or as part of a casual meal.
Ingredients
- 4 sweet potato
- 1/2 cup Italian dressing divided
- 12 lices Bacon cooked and chopped
- 4 oz cheddar cheese cut into 48 slices
- 1/4 cup Parmesan Cheese grated
- chives chopped fresh
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 450.
- Cut a thin, lengthwise slice off the bottom of the potatoes so they will not roll.
- Cut potato crosswise without going all the way to the bottom. Do this for all the potatoes.
- Place potatoes on a foil-lined baking sheet. Brush with half of the melted butter and bake for 35-45 minutes or until tender.
- Turn on broiler. While broiler is heating up, add cheese slices in every other potato slice and bacon in the other slices.
- Combine remaining Italian dressing and Parmesan and drizzle over potatoes. Top with chives and broil for a few minutes. Serve warm and ENJOY!
