Photo: Hasselback Sweet Potatoes Recipe
Ingredients
- 4 medium sweet potatoes
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter, melted
- 1 teaspoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon finely chopped fresh thyme leaves
- 1 garlic clove, finely grated on a microplane
- Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
- 1/3 cup nonfat Greek-style yogurt
- 1 scallion, white and green parts chopped
Directions
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.

It is critical that you rinse the potato after you slice it, otherwise the slices get stuck together because of the starch. Trust me, I forgot to do this and basically got a baked potato, no pretty crip slices. :(

This recipe for "Hasselback Sweet Potatoes" please's me to use as a 'Special Treat' for a Holiday Dinner! I've used Sour Cream in place of the Yogurt after the baking is done. The 'Fans' open out to offer you the flavored 'petals' to enjoy in this simple recipe! [It can be done just as well in white potatoes or even Yellow Gold with a touch of white and still cut the Hasselback cross slices-it;s very tasty.] These are simple as Baked Potatoes - with a masterful handle for each potato to bake with the fanciful Hasselback 1/8th." slices to create the amazing look! :-
