Time 1h55m

Yield 6 servings.

Number Of Ingredients 12

6 medium sweet potatoes
1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
2 tablespoons brown sugar
2 tablespoons orange juice
2 teaspoons grated orange zest
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon coarsely ground pepper
6 ounces cream cheese, softened
12 pitted dates, chopped
12 fresh sage leaves, chopped
1/2 cup chopped pecans
Additional fresh sage, chopped, optional

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 425°. Cut thin slices lengthwise from bottoms of sweet potatoes to allow them to lie flat; discard slices. Place potatoes flat side down; cut crosswise into 1/8-in. slices, leaving them intact at bottom. Arrange the sweet potatoes in a greased 13x9-in. baking pan., In a small bowl, whisk together butter, brown sugar, orange juice and orange zest. Spoon half the butter mixture evenly over the sweet potatoes; sprinkle with salt and pepper. Combine cream cheese, dates and sage; spread between potato slices., Bake, covered, until potatoes are just becoming tender, 45-50 minutes. Remove pan from oven and uncover; spoon the remaining butter mixture over potatoes and top with pecans. Return to oven and bake until potatoes are completely tender and topping is golden brown, 25-30 minutes longer. If desired, serve with additional chopped sage.

These potatoes are so easy to make and they're always a crowd-pleaser. I love the way the brown sugar glaze caramelizes on the edges.

I've made this recipe several times and it's always a winner. The potatoes are always crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside. The glaze is also to die for.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my potatoes didn't turn out very well. They were kind of mushy and the glaze didn't caramelize.

These potatoes were a great way to use up some leftover sweet potatoes. They were easy to make and they tasted great.

I followed the recipe exactly and my potatoes turned out perfect. They were crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside. I served them with a dollop of sour cream and they were amazing!

I'm not a big fan of sweet potatoes, but these were actually pretty good. The glaze was really tasty.

These potatoes were a nice change from the usual roasted potatoes. I liked the way the brown sugar glaze caramelized on the edges.

I would have liked the potatoes to be a little more crispy, but overall they were still good.

I love the combination of sweet and savory in this dish. The brown sugar and butter glaze caramelizes perfectly on the potatoes, and the rosemary adds a nice touch of flavor.
