Hasselback Sweet Potatoes

Here's a version of a classic potato dish for sweet potatoes!  It's great for a weeknight meal, but is also great for entertaining.

Hasselback Sweet Potatoes

Ingredients

• 4-6 sweet potatoes
• 8 Tbsp. butter, sliced thinly
• 1/2 cup pecans, chopped
• 1/2 cup dried cranberries
• 1/4 cup maple syrup
• salt, to taste

Serves 4-6
Cook time: 45 minutes

Preheat oven to 400, bake sweet potatoes until soft, but not cooked through.  Once sweet potatoes have cooled enough to handle, sliced into them 2/3 of the way, but not all the way through.  Insert a slice of butter into each slice, then top each sweet potato with pecans and cranberries, drizzle with maple syrup and sprinkle with salt.  Return to oven to cook through.
