Hasselback Sweet Potatoes

Monday 23 December 2013


I love sweet potato. My favourite way to eat it has always been twice baked (recipe posted before). But this new method may be just as good if not better! This is great to serve at a party because the hasselback effect just looks really.. Cool. 

Usually I don't bake my potatoes with oil but I did use some this time. OMG it makes a huge difference. Like it gets all crispy and stuff :O Look!


I served mine with otah stuffed baked chicken. Just slit a chicken breast, stuffed some otah in the centre, sealed with toothpicks, seasoned and backed it :D 

What you'll need
1 sweet potato (150g ish)
1 tsp olive oil
1/4 tsp butter extract
1/2 tsp minced garlic
1 tbsp chopped parsley 

How to
Preheat oven to 200C. 
1. Slice sweet potato 3/4 way down into 0.3 - 0.5 cm thick slices. No need to be too precise actually.


2. Mix olive oil, butter extract, minced garlic and parsley together. Rub mixture all over the sweet potato and don't forget to get between the slices. It helps to use a butter knife!!
3. Bake for 45min. Fan out the slices with a butter knife and your hands. Curve the sweet potato back slightly to help the slices fan out! 
4. Bake for 10 more minutes and eat! If you want you can serve this with greek yogurt and chives :-)
