My family and I eat sweet potatoes A LOT!!!! My kids were not big fans until I started playing around with different ways to make them. This method was a big hit in our house. Believe me when I say that these Hasselback Sweet Potatoes are going to be your new favorite go-to side dish!

 Baking sweet potatoes is a simple and delicious way to savor your favorite spud… Not only are they healthier, but they are just tastier. Unbelievably versatile, Hasselback sweet potatoes can be served with absolutely anything — as a side or as a main on their own.

Crispy on the outside and fork-tender on the inside. Chicken, meat, seafood, in a salad, or as a meal on their own. I love the phrase “Turn it up a Notch” from Emeril because this is what we are going to do… BROWN BUTTER… BAMM!!!!

Ingredients Needed

• 2 sweet potatoes
• 3 tbsp salted butter
• 1 tsp cinnamon (optional) – Add just before serving
• 1 tbsp maple syrup
• Pinch salt & pepper
• Olive oil

How to Make These Hasselback Sweet Potatoes

STEP ONE: Slice the sweet potatoes 3/4 of the way through, with each slice about 1/4-1/2″ apart. Place on a sheet pan.

If you are unsure of yourself and plan to make a bunch of these yummy potatoes, there are also Hasselback Potato Prep Kits. These kits offer an easy place to put the potatoes while you slice them.  Either is a great idea.

STEP TWO: Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Bake at 425 for 30 minutes (for large potatoes, adjust the time to 15 minutes for small, thin potatoes)

STEP THREE: While the potato bakes, heat a skillet over medium-low heat. Add the butter and let it melt down. As the butter cooks, it will become a darker color. Once the butter is a nice amber color, remove it from the heat.

STEP FOUR: Remove the potato from the oven, pour the brown butter and the maple syrup all over so it drips between the slices. Reduce the oven to 350, and bake until the potato is fork tender. 

STEP FIVE: Press your brown sugar and seasoning into each slice so the flavor soaks in for an amazing taste in every single bite.

Optional – Sprinkle with Brown Sugar for some added sweetness. Add this to your sweet potato just before serving.

Smart Cooking Tips 

-Purchase sweet potatoes that are uniform in size so they cook evenly.
-If your potatoes are too wobbly, think about slicing off the bottom to make it more uniform. Believe me, no one will notice and it will keep your fingers safe. 
-Pat the potatoes dry after washing or the skins won’t get as crispy. You can even leave them on the counter for a few minutes after patting them dry to make sure they are completely dry. 
-Try to make the slices as uniform as possible as this will ensure more even cooking.
-When browning the butter, stay nearby as it can quickly go from brown to burned in a matter of seconds.
