Hasselback Potatoes {Food Idea of the Week}

How many of you notice I use my blog to motivate myself in various ways? :-) 

I've decided to post a NEW whole food recipe or idea a week. 

It might even require me to do a little research... 

I'm looking for a means to stay out of the same-old-same rut. 

This week was easy. 

Fay posted an idea on facebook and I ran with it!!! 

What's more, we LOVE it and it's so simple!

Bless your family with an old favorite in a delightful new guise.

This idea might be a nice change from the mash potatoes,

or baked potatoes you normally serve for Thanksgiving. 

It has eye appeal to go with the great flavor.

I'm not going to reinvent the wheel and write out the recipe. 

I'm going to send you to the place where I got it.

Spiced-Mini- Hasselbacks

Roasted Sweet Potatoes Hasselback Style

Here are my tips.

Smooth pretty potatoes make pretty hasselbacks.

I was kind of disappointing in the look from Russet potatoes.

Slice your potatoes between two cutting boards to keep from slicing through.

Most would probably peel their yams, but we just scrubbed ours well.

I did not use butter or margarine on my hasselbacks. 

I did brush them with oil.

Bon appetite!
