Honey Parmesan Sweet Potato Stacks

Liven up your table and your taste buds with this Sweet Potato Stacks recipe.

 

Ingredients

With simple ingredients you can find at your local grocery store, you’ll be well on your way to making delicious sweet potato stacks.

• Sweet potatoes – Sweet potatoes come in a variety of colors, try purple sweet potatoes or even white potatoes to add some variety. 
• Extra virgin olive oil – Because this recipe requires so few ingredients, I like to use a good quality olive oil here.
• Fresh rosemary – Fresh herbs add so much flavor to a dish. You can use dried rosemary in a pinch.
• Fresh garlic – I always prefer to use fresh garlic over the jarred variety. You want this to be finely minced.
• Salt and pepper – I use a simple blend of coarse kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper.
• Parmesan cheese – Freshly shredding your own cheese is always preferred. It allows the cheese to melt better.
• Salted butter – I use salted here because there is no added salt in the honey butter. You can always use unsalted and add salt if you’d like to.
• Honey – When combined with softened butter, you get the most delicious, perfectly sweet topping for these potatoes.

Variations

There are plenty of ways you can make these sweet potato stacks your own. Here are a few suggestions.

• Herbs – Instead of rosemary, try swapping it with other fresh herbs like thyme, parsley or sage.
• Sweet – Instead of making these savory potatoes, toss them in cinnamon and brown sugar to sweeten them up!
• Potatoes – You could swap out the sweet potatoes for regular potatoes if you’d like. I would recommend Idaho or something similar.

How to Make Sweet Potato Stacks

You are going to love how easy it is to make your new favorite side dish.

1. Prepare oven and potatoes. Preheat the oven and peel the sweet potatoes and cut into thin disk slices, approximately 1/8 of an inch thick. I like to use a mandolin slicer for uniform slices.
2. Toss potatoes in seasoning. In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the extra virgin olive oil, rosemary, garlic, salt, black pepper, and parmesan cheese. Toss the sweet potato disks in the olive oil mixture.
3. Add to sheet pan with cheese. Line a rimmed baking sheet with aluminum foil and assemble stacks 4-5 slices high, using wider slices for the base. Make sure to get Parmesan cheese in between each slice to serve as the “glue”.
4. Bake until stacks are tender on the inside but have crispy exteriors. Use the toothpick test down the center to check for doneness.
5. Make the honey butter. Melt the butter in a small microwave safe bowl. Whisk in the honey.
6. Top stacks with honey butter. Evenly spoon the melted honey butter over each sweet potato stack.

What to Serve with Sweet Potato Stacks

Because they’re a side dish, they pair nicely with almost any main dish you can think of. We particularly like them with grilled or roasted meat.

Serve them with a pan fried steak, a deep fried turkey or even a pork tenderloin. Whatever you choose, it will be perfect with these sweet potato stacks.
