We enjoy Hasselback Potatoes, so I decided to try making Hasselback Sweet Potatoes. Instead of going with savory herbs, I combined butter, honey, cinnamon, and ginger. And they were amazingly delicious! My kids have asked me to serve these for Thanksgiving this year. I love it when my kids ask me to cook vegetables.
The sweet potatoes were long so I cut them in half. This allowed them to fit in the pan better, but they didn’t fan out as much as I would have liked. Next time I will use short, fat sweet potatoes, so I get a more dramatic presentation.

This may be a ridiculous question but do I peel the sweet potatoes? They look peeled in the picture.

Not a ridiculous question at all. I do not peel them, I just cut off any eyes or weird spots and then cut the sweet potatoes into bite size pieces. However, you can peel the first if you wish. I am just way too lazy to go to the work of peeling sweet potatoes. 😉

Yup, lovely idea. Sweet potatoes seem to be one of those miracle foods which taste great and are good for us, too. 😉
