Maple-Bacon Hasselback Sweet Potatoes image

Sweet potatoes get an impressive treatment with this decorative preparation. The hasselback slicing technique is easily achievable (just follow our tips!), and it allows the flavors of bacon, butter, maple syrup and fresh thyme to infuse the sweet potato. The end result is a dish that combines the best flavors of fall in every bite.
