BAKED SWEET POTATO SLICES

SERVES 6

This is based on the Baked Potato Slices recipe that uses white potatoes. It is very good this way. Use any type of herb desired. For a sweeter presentation, sprinkle each layer with a little brown sugar and substitute butter for the olive oil.

INGREDIENTS

2-1/2 pound sweet potatoes, scrubbed and very thinly sliced

Olive oil

Salt and pepper to taste

Finely chopped onions

Dried thyme and marjoram, or other herbs as desired

3/4 cup chicken broth or water

Place the potato slices in cold water for at least 30 minutes. Drain and pat dry when ready to use.

Preheat oven to 375° F. Lightly grease an 13x9x2-inch baking dish with olive oil or spray. Place a layer of potatoes on the bottom, slightly overlapping the slices. Sprinkle with salt, pepper, herbs and and about 1 tablespoon of chopped onions. Drizzle with olive oil and then moisten with a little broth. Continue to layer until all the potatoes are used. This will make about 6 layers. You should also use all of the broth. Bake at 375° until potatoes are tender, about 50 minutes. Increase the heat to 450° F. Bake an additional 10 minutes or until the top layer is browned and crispy. Serve immediately.
