Hasselback Sweet Potatoes with Bacon Brown Butter Sauce
Ingredients
For the sweet potatoes:
- 1 tablespoon + 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 to 3 medium sweet potatoes, scrubbed and dried
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon finely chopped sage
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
For the bacon brown butter sauce:
- 5 ounces diced pancetta, or bacon
- 2 garlic cloves, peeled and chopped
- ¼ cup unsalted butter, cubed
- 1 teaspoon finely chopped sage, plus extra for garnish
- 2-3 tablespoons maple syrup or honey
Directions
-
Slice the sweet potatoes in half lengthwise. Place the sweet potato halves, cut side down, on a cutting board. Arrange two wooden skewers or chopsticks along the length of the sweet potato and then slice ⅛-inch thick slices almost all the way through to the bottom of the potato.
-
Brush the potatoes with the herb oil and carefully transfer them to the preheated and oiled cast-iron skillet. Bake for 30-40 minutes.
-
Crisp up the bacon and the garlic. Then brown the butter and add the bacon, garlic, sage, and maple syrup.
-
Remove potatoes from the oven when done and pour the maple bacon brown butter over potatoes. Garnish with extra sage, serve immediately, and enjoy!
