Hasselback Sweet Potatoes With Roasted Marshmallows Recipes

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 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.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 375°F. In large bowl, stir together 3 tablespoons melted butter, the brown sugar, vinegar, shallot, salt and pepper. Add potato slices to butter mixture; toss to thoroughly coat slices.
• Pick up potatoes by the handful, and place slices one on top of another, forming a small stack. Place potato stack on its side in ungreased 8-inch square (2-quart) baking dish. Continue making small stacks with remaining potatoes, and arranging them side-by-side in dish to form rows of tightly packed stacked slices. Scrape bowl for any remaining butter mixture, and spread over potatoes.
• Bake 1 hour. In small bowl, mix bread crumbs, 1 tablespoon melted butter and the thyme. Sprinkle casserole with bread crumb mixture. Bake 12 to 17 minutes or until potatoes are fork-tender and bread crumb mixture is golden brown. Garnish with parsley. Let stand 10 minutes before serving.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
• Place sweet potato on a cutting board. Place a chopstick on either side. Cut the sweet potato into 1/8-inch-thick slices, making sure you don't cut all the way through. Transfer to a baking pan.
• Mix melted butter, maple syrup, cinnamon, and vanilla extract together. Spoon over the sweet potato.
• Bake in the preheated oven until tender, 45 to 60 minutes.
• Using your hands, make streusel by combining 2 tablespoons plus 2 teaspoons brown sugar, pecans, flour, butter, and salt. Keep refrigerated until ready to use.
• Remove the sweet potato from the oven and sprinkle streusel over the top. Place in the broiler until streusel starts to brown, 1 to 3 minutes.

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:

• Heat oven to 350 degrees F.
• In a large pot melt 2 tablespoons butter. Stir in brown sugar and water. Bring to a boil, then lower and simmer while stirring until reduced and thickened, about 10 minutes.
• Peel potatoes and cut lengthwise, then again making long quarters. Cut these into 1-inch pieces ending up with pie slice-shaped wedges. Place in a separate large pot of boiling water and cook for about 5 minutes. Potatoes should give a bit when poked with a fork.
• Drain the potatoes and arrange in a single layer in a buttered 13 by 9-inch baking dish. Pour the syrup over the potatoes; making sure it covers the potatoes. Place lemon slices on top and bake for 35 minutes, spooning syrup over potatoes twice during that time. Potatoes are done when they are tender to the fork.
• Remove from the oven, remove the lemon slices, and stir in pecans. Arrange the marshmallows evenly on top. Place back in the oven turning it up to 400 degrees F and cook until marshmallows puff up and turn brown, approximately 10 more minutes.

Steps:

• Heat the oven to 425 degrees. Pour 1 tablespoon olive oil into a large cast-iron skillet, swirl it so it coats the whole pan, then put it in the oven while you cut the potatoes.
• Cut the potatoes in half lengthwise, place cut side down on a cutting board, then use a knife to make 1/8-inch slices on a slight bias from the top to the bottom of the potato half. Cut almost all of the way through the potato, stopping before you reach the bottom. (A serrated knife makes the job easier. You can also lay chopsticks down on either side of the potato to keep the knife from slipping through the potato.)
• Carefully remove the skillet from the oven and nestle the sweet potato halves inside in a single layer. Drizzle the top of each with 1/2 teaspoon olive oil, sprinkle with salt, then bake for 30 minutes.
• Meanwhile, add the butter to a small pot with 1 teaspoon salt. Grate the garlic into the pot with a microplane, then heat over low until the butter is melted.
• Take the sweet potatoes out of the oven and, keeping in mind that the pan is hot, use a fork or offset spatula to gently pry the slices apart so that there's more room between each one. Use a brush to generously coat the potatoes with garlic butter (the more you get inside the slices, the better). Reserve any excess.
• Bake for an additional 10 minutes. For extra crisp edges, broil potatoes for 2 to 4 minutes, until the ruffles are charred. Brush with reserved garlic butter, and serve.
