Ingredients
  

  • 4.0 medium sweet potatoes
  • 1.0 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
  • 0.5 cup cream cheese, softened
  • 2.0 tablespoons sour cream
  • 2.0 tablespoons green onions, finely chopped
  • 2.0 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1.0 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 0.0 to taste salt
  • 0.0 to taste pepper
  • 2.0 tablespoons olive oil
  • 0.0 for garnish fresh parsley

Instructions
 

  • Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
  • Wash the sweet potatoes thoroughly and pat dry. Place each potato on a cutting board and make thin slices (about 0.125 inches apart) along the length of each potato, stopping just before you reach the bottom.
  • Drizzle each Hasselback sweet potato with olive oil, ensuring it seeps into the slices. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  • Place the sweet potatoes on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until they are tender and slightly crispy on the edges.
  • While the sweet potatoes are baking, combine the cheddar cheese, cream cheese, sour cream, green onions, minced garlic, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper in a bowl. Mix until thoroughly combined.
  • Once the potatoes are soft, remove them from the oven. Carefully widen the slits in the sweet potatoes a bit more and stuff each slit with the cheesy mixture, packing it generously.
  • Return the stuffed sweet potatoes to the oven and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and golden brown.
  • Remove from the oven and let cool for a minute. Garnish with fresh parsley and additional chopped green onions, if desired. Serve hot.
