Using the Hasselback potatoes preparation method, these little Japanese sweet potatoes have been transformed into something so beautiful and tasty. Lightly brush the potatoes with canola oil and top them with butter and some demerara sugar. Compared to whole potatoes, roasting these sweet potatoes only required half the time. The end result was fantastic! These sweet potatoes were crunchy on the outside, and the flesh remained soft, sweet with buttery goodness. Yum!

Good knife skilles!
Awesome, I am going to search these out at my grocery store
Gotta luv the sweet potatoes! I have been eating my weight in Japanese sweet potatoes lately. I usually just chop them up and throw them in the oven at 450 for 20 minutes without oil. I bet these potatoes are super good!
I really love hassleback potatoes and it never crossed my mind to do it with sweet potatoes! yum!
they look so good, I have never seen them in my stores.....the hunt begins!!
Great idea to use sweet potatoes for this recipe and it must have tasted really delicious.
what a great idea! they look absolutely gorgeous
Beautifully presented and lovely color of those potatoes. I don't think I've seen those in my local markets, will be on the lookout! :)
a great trick for preparing potatoes in the "hassleback" fashion is to place two cutting boards on a counter, with the potato between. this makes the many tiny slices much easier.

Mmmmmm, why didn't I already think of this?! I'll try cayenne and sea salt instead of sugar, I bet they'll be fantastic!
