HASSELBACK SWEET POTATOES

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.

HASSELBACK YAMS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400˚F. Line a shallow baking pan with parchment paper. With a sharp knife, make a series of widthwise slices into the top of each yam, spacing them about 1/8" to 1/4" apart, and slicing about three quarters the way through. Set the yams, cut side up, in the baking pan. Bake, uncovered, 30 minutes. When the yams have baked 30 minutes, remove from the oven. Run the back of a fork across the tops of the yams, and using light pressure, fan the slices, slightly separate them from one another. Combine the butter, oil, sage, garlic, syrup and juice in a small bowl. Brush half this mixture on top of the yams and in between the slices. Season the yams with salt and pepper. Bake the yams 15 minutes more. Brush the top of the yams with the remaining butter mixture, and then bake 15 minutes more, or until tender. Set yams on a serving platter, brush with the liquid left in the pan, and then serve. Recipe Options: Instead of fresh sage, use 2 tsp. of dried sage leaves in this recipe. Instead of maple syrup, use an equal amount of honey.

HASSELBACK SWEET POTATOES

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 425 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil.

• 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.
