Here is an easy way to add sweet potatoes to your holiday meals
Not only are they easy but they look elegant
They can be prepared ahead of time and are simple to serve
They can be prepared for 1 or a crowd
Choose large sweet potatoes and cut them in fairly thick slices discarding the ends
Place them in a pot of boiling salted water and cook for about 20 minutes
until potatoes are fork tender but still firm enough to keep their shape
Pat dry and place slices on a greased baking sheet
Gently mash the centers with the tines of a fork
Now brush or spoon garlic butter over slices
It will fill in the crevices
After baking at 425 for 25 minutes, top with Parmesan
Return to oven for 5 minutes to melt cheese
Note: You can prepare sweet potatoes ahead of time, refrigerate, then pop them in the oven with the Parmesan for 10 minutes to heat up right before serving
Garnish with fresh rosemary and serve
Plan on 1-2 slices per person
