Salt-Rubbed Sweet Potatoes With Sour Cream and Chives image

If you've ever thought the somewhat-dull sweet potato could use some punch, try covering it in a layer of salt before you bake it: The salt flavors and tenderizes the skin, leaving a crisp exterior that begs for the cooling tang of sour cream. Leave the potatoes a little damp after you've scrubbed them clean so that you'll have an easier time getting the salt to stick.

Time 1h

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 5

4 medium sweet potatoes (8 to 10 ounces each), scrubbed and left damp
2 tablespoons kosher salt
1/4 cup sour cream
1/4 cup minced chives
Black pepper

Steps:

  • Heat the oven to 400 degrees. Line a sheet pan with parchment paper. Use a fork to poke holes all over the flesh of the damp potatoes, then rub each one all over with 1/2 tablespoon salt.
  • Bake for about 1 hour, until tender, then allow to cool slightly before brushing off excess salt and slicing each one lengthwise. Open up the sweet potato, use a fork to rough up its flesh, then dollop each with 1 tablespoon sour cream and sprinkle with 1 tablespoon chives. Garnish with black pepper.

These were delicious! I served them with a side of roasted chicken and vegetables and it was a perfect meal.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my sweet potatoes turned out mushy. I think I might have cooked them for too long.

These were a bit too sweet for my taste. I think I'll try using a different type of sweet potato next time.

I'm allergic to sour cream, so I used Greek yogurt instead. It worked just as well.

I added a bit of cayenne pepper to the salt rub for a little extra kick. It was delicious!

I'm not a big fan of sweet potatoes, but these were actually really good. The salt rub and sour cream and chives really made a difference.

Meh. I found the salt rub to be a bit too salty and the sour cream and chives didn't really add much flavor. I think I'll stick to my regular roasted sweet potato recipe.

So easy and delicious! I used a garlic salt rub and added a bit of paprika for a smoky flavor. The sour cream and chives were the perfect finishing touch.

These sweet potatoes were a hit! The salt rub gave them a crispy, flavorful crust, and the sour cream and chives added a creamy, tangy balance. I'll definitely be making these again!
