Hasselback Sweet Potatoes With Roasted Marshmallows Food

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.

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:

• 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.

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.

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.
