What’s Cooking in Gail’s Kitchen? Table Food: Oregano Hasselback Sweet Potato! Have you ever stepped foot in a grocery store and been greeted by a warmer filled with foil-wrapped oven-baked sweet potatoes? The naturally sweet, earthy aromas trigger the tastebuds the same way rotisserie chicken and sizzling bacon do. You want it and gotta have it. Wait until you bite into the creamy texture infused with oregano and cinnamon. Sounds like a sensual adventure, doesn’t it?
OREGANO HASSELBACK SWEET POTATO
Ingredients:
2 sweet potatoes, skin on
2 tablespoons olive oil
1/4 teaspoon oregano, crushed
1/4 teaspoon seasoned salt
1/8 teaspoon cinnamon
Instructions:
Preheat oven to 350°. Leaving skin on potatoes, wash thoroughly and pat dry. Put one potato on a cutting board. Beginning at one end, slice in strips, being careful to stop before slicing the bottom skin. Transfer to a shallow baking dish. Continue until both potatoes are sliced. In a small bowl, mix olive oil, crushed oregano, seasoned salt, and cinnamon. Brush each potato with olive oil mixture, separating slices to coat both sides. Drizzle remaining oil over all. Bake potatoes one hour until crispy, basting occasionally. Serve immediately.
Yes ofcourse its indeed a sensual adventure for tatse buds

Too often I forget about their wonderful flavor. Then I come back around to it and feel special, like returning to an old friend. 🍁🍂🌾

I too haven’t thought of hasselbacking sweet potatoes (pardon the single!) These look delicious and really nutritious as well.

It’s a pleasant change for us. In fact, the entire time we stay in Hawaii, we eat sweet potatoes. 🍠🌴
