These Hasselback Sweet Potatoes are a simple yet elegant and tasty side dish for your holiday table. Recipe includes a savory and sweet toppings. | RotiNRice.com

Hasselback Potatoes are a pleasure at the dinner table. They are everything a roast potato should be, crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. First served at the Hasselbacken Restaurant in Stockholm, these potatoes are a must-served when you have company and are out to impress. Usually made with regular potatoes, I was curious to see if Hasselback Sweet Potatoes would turn out just as gorgeous and tasty.

Hasselback Sweet Potatoes – Just as Tasty

So far, I’ve made these Hasselback Sweet Potatoes three times with three different toppings. They have turned out beautifully each time. We do prefer the savory topping as a side dish but the sweet topping would work well for a snack or afternon tea. They may not have as crispy a texture as the regular potatoes but they are every bit as gorgeous and tasty!

A Simple Trick

This is a very simple recipe which uses only a handful of ingredients. The hardest part is to cut the potatoes cross-wise into 1/8 to ΒΌ inch intervals down low so that they fan out during roasting. The tendency is to cut the potato right through and that is not a good thing. One way to prevent that from happening is to place a pair of chopsticks on either side of the potato. This simple trick will save you from a lot of frustration. Please also be aware that sweet potatoes are much harder and firmer than their regular counterpart. So, do be careful when slicing them!

I did peel the sweet potatoes but the skin can be left on if desired. Just give them a good scrub before proceeding with the rest of the recipe.

    Oh Biren, what a good idea!!! You know, I always see hasselback potatoes and think they look so good. I’ve never tried them though, and the idea of doing the same to sweet potatoes didn’t even slightly creep into my mind. Which is weird, b/c things are always creeping around in there (smile)! Yummy, Lady:)

You’ve given me an idea as one of the things, thank you! I shall go along thinking of your beautiful photos. Have a lovely weekend.

    Yum! I made a savory version this winter and I loved the combination of garlic and sweet potato–we put a thin slice of garlic between every sliver of potato. I really like the idea of doing one with sweet toppings though. I’ll have to try this next time I’m craving sweet potatoes..

    Clever idea with the chop sticks! I do this with regular potatoes and slivers of onion, seasoning, spices and drizzle of oil, wrap in tin foil, do on the BBQ or oven! Thanks for the recipe, I will be doing this version!
