Ingredients
- 4 sweet potato medium, garnet yams as alternative
- 3-4 tablespoons olive oil
Herb Butter
- 6 tablespoons butter melted, unsalted
- 2 tablespoon olive oil
- 4 garlic minced, cloves
- 1 TBS EACH parsley or 1 tsp. EACH dried, finely chopped, fresh
- 1 TBS EACH chives or 1 tsp. EACH dried, finely chopped, fresh
- 1 tsp EACH rosemary or heaping 1/4 tsp EACH dried, finely chopped, fresh
- 1 tsp EACH thyme or heaping 1/4 tsp EACH dried, finely chopped, fresh
- 1/2 tsp EACH paprika
- 1/2 tsp EACH salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- pinch ground nutmeg
Optional, HIGHLY RECOMMENDED
- 8 ounces gouda cheese thinly sliced into 1-inch squares, regular or smoked
Toppings
- sour cream
- goat cheese herb flavored
- green onions
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil and spray with nonstick cooking spray.
- Wash and dry potatoes. Make a series of 1/8-inch slices along the top of each potato, stopping 1/2 inch from the bottom so you don't slice all the way through the potatoes.
- Add the potatoes to the baking sheet and drizzle with some olive oil. Rub the olive oil all over the potatoes. Bake sweet potatoes for 40 minutes. Towards the end of the 40 minutes, whisk all of the Herb Butter ingredients together (not too early, or the butter will harden).
- Remove the potatoes from the oven and brush in between the slices with the Herb Butter.
- Return to the oven and bake another 10-20 minutes OR until the center potato slices are very tender. Brush sweet potatoes with any of the butter that has accumulated at the bottom of the pan. Season with additional salt and pepper to taste. Serve with Sour Cream or Herb Goat Cheese or see Gouda option below.
- Optional: When potatoes are fully cooked, remove from oven and distribute Gouda evenly in between every few potato slices. Return potatoes to oven and cook just until cheese is melted, 3-5 minutes more.
Notes
- My grocery store calls sweet potatoes garnet yams. So look for garnet yams or your sweet potatoes might actually be white inside!
- Purchase sweet potatoes that are uniform in sizes so they cook evenly.
- Scrub the outsides of the potatoes clean because guests are more than likely eating the skins - we don't want any grit in their teeth.
- Pat the potatoes very dry after washing or the skins won't get as crispy.
- Don't slice the potatoes all the way through the potato. Some people like to lay their potato in between chopsticks which will prevent you from slicing all the way through the potato.
- Try and make the slices as uniform as possible as this will ensure more even cooking.
- After the potatoes are cooked, you can add slices of Gouda or your favorite cheese on top of the Hasselback Sweet Potatoes and bake until melted for extra decadence.
