Roasted Garlic Hasselback Potatoes |

Ingredients

DirectionsHeat oven to 375°F. In large bowl, stir together butter, oil, chopped rosemary, garlic, salt and pepper. Add potato slices to butter mixture; toss to thoroughly coat slices. Pick up potatoes by the handful, and place slices 1 on top of another, forming a small stack. Place potato stack on its side in ungreased 8-inch square (2-quart) baking dish. Continue making small stacks with remaining potatoes and arranging them side-by-side in dish to form 3 rows of tightly packed stacked slices. Scrape bowl for any remaining butter mixture, and spread over potatoes. Bake 1 hour. Sprinkle with Parmesan cheese. Bake 15 to 20 minutes longer or until potatoes are fork-tender and golden brown on top. Garnish with sprigs of fresh rosemary. Let stand 10 minutes before serving.

DirectionsPreheat oven to 425 degrees F. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or foil. Grease with nonstick cooking spray.Place the sweet potatoes on the prepared baking sheet. Drizzle with olive oil and toss until well coated. Make sure the sweet potatoes are in a single layer, not touching. Sprinkle with salt. Place the pan in the oven and roast for 20 minutes. Return to oven and bake for 10 to 20 minutes, depending on how crispy you like your sweet potatoes. Stir halfway through to make sure they are cooked evenly. We recommend checking at 10 minutes to be safe.Remove the pan from the oven and place sweet potatoes in a serving bowl or on a platter. Garnish with candied pecans or walnuts, if using. Serve immediately. Recipe and Photo from Two Peas & Their Pod. |
