Time 1h25m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 6

4 slices thick-cut bacon
2 teaspoons maple syrup
1 teaspoon paprika
Kosher salt
4 medium sweet potatoes (about 2 pounds)
Chopped fresh chives, for garnish

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.

I'm not a big fan of bacon, but I still really enjoyed these sweet potatoes. The Hasselback style made them really crispy and the brown sugar glaze was delicious.

These were really good! I used a little less brown sugar than the recipe called for and they were still plenty sweet. The bacon added a nice salty flavor.

These sweet potatoes were a hit! The bacon added a delicious salty and smoky flavor, and the Hasselback style made them crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside. I will definitely be making these again.
