Categories     side-dish

Time 1h10m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

4 medium sweet potatoes
6 tablespoons unsalted butter
1/3 cup light brown sugar
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 cup pecan halves, finely chopped

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.

HASSELBACK SWEET POTATO CASSEROLE



Hasselback Sweet Potato Casserole image

This casserole of thinly sliced sweet potatoes is more than just a pretty presentation. It practically sings with notes of sweet, tangy and herby flavor. Seasoning the potatoes with ingredients-brown sugar and apple cider vinegar-that both complement and contrast with their natural sweetness makes this a dynamic dish. The buttery toasted bread crumb topping provides a textural contrast, a touch of saltiness and lots of fresh flavor from the parsley and thyme. The end result is a perfectly balanced and deeply savory side that feels right at home at a special feast. Serve it at your holiday meal or a dinner party, but don't hold back on making it for yourself, if the mood strikes-it's too good to save just for special occasions.

Time 1h

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 15

2 ½ pounds sweet potatoes, peeled and cubed
salt
2 tablespoons butter
2 large eggs
¼ cup maple syrup
¼ cup buttermilk
⅓ cup milk
½ teaspoon vanilla extract
½ teaspoon salt
1 pinch ground allspice
1 pinch cayenne pepper
½ cup chopped roasted, salted pistachios
½ cup light brown sugar
⅓ cup all-purpose flour
¼ cup butter, melted

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 2 1/2-quart baking dish with butter.
  • Place sweet potato cubes into a large pot, cover with water, and add a large pinch of salt. Bring to a boil and cook until a knife is easily inserted into a sweet potato cube, about 10 minutes. Drain well. Return to the pot and mash 2 tablespoons butter into sweet potatoes.
  • Whisk eggs, maple syrup, buttermilk, milk, vanilla extract, cayenne pepper, allspice, and 1/2 teaspoon salt together in a large bowl until smooth. Gradually mash sweet potatoes into egg mixture, starting with 2 tablespoons of sweet potato mixture, until all sweet potatoes are incorporated. Transfer sweet potatoes into prepared baking dish.
  • Mix pistachios, brown sugar, flour, and 1/4 cup melted butter together until completely mixed. Crumble topping evenly over top of sweet potatoes. Use the back of a fork to gently press pistachio mixture down onto sweet potatoes.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until topping is browned and casserole is set, 25 to 30 minutes. If desired, place under oven's broiler for 5 minutes to give topping a little more brown color. Let rest to cool slightly before serving, about 10 minutes.
