Hasselback Sweet Potato Casserole image

This casserole of thinly sliced sweet potatoes is more than just a pretty presentation. It practically sings with notes of sweet, tangy and herby flavor. Seasoning the potatoes with ingredients-brown sugar and apple cider vinegar-that both complement and contrast with their natural sweetness makes this a dynamic dish. The buttery toasted bread crumb topping provides a textural contrast, a touch of saltiness and lots of fresh flavor from the parsley and thyme. The end result is a perfectly balanced and deeply savory side that feels right at home at a special feast. Serve it at your holiday meal or a dinner party, but don't hold back on making it for yourself, if the mood strikes-it's too good to save just for special occasions.

Yield 10

Number Of Ingredients 11

3 tablespoons butter, melted
3 tablespoons packed brown sugar
2 teaspoons apple cider vinegar
1/4 cup finely chopped shallot
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
1/2 teaspoon pepper
3 lb orange-fleshed sweet potatoes, peeled and cut crosswise into 1/8-inch slices (about 6 medium)
1/3 cup Progresso™ plain panko crispy bread crumbs
1 tablespoon butter, melted
1 teaspoon chopped fresh thyme leaves
1 tablespoon chopped fresh Italian (flat-leaf) parsley leaves

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 375°F. In large bowl, stir together 3 tablespoons melted butter, the brown sugar, vinegar, shallot, salt and pepper. Add potato slices to butter mixture; toss to thoroughly coat slices.
  • Pick up potatoes by the handful, and place slices one 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 rows of tightly packed stacked slices. Scrape bowl for any remaining butter mixture, and spread over potatoes.
  • Bake 1 hour. In small bowl, mix bread crumbs, 1 tablespoon melted butter and the thyme. Sprinkle casserole with bread crumb mixture. Bake 12 to 17 minutes or until potatoes are fork-tender and bread crumb mixture is golden brown. Garnish with parsley. Let stand 10 minutes before serving.
