If you're new to the world of "melting potatoes," then you're in for a real treat! Melting potatoes are potatoes that are crispy on the outside and melty-delicious on the inside. We used sweet potatoes in this recipe to make a version that's perfect for Thanksgiving. Our Melting Sweet Potatoes feature a maple glaze and a pecan topping for extra goodness.
What You'll Need
- 3 pound sweet potatoes, peeled and cut into 1/2-inch slices
- 6 tablespoon butter, melted
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup apple cider
- 1/2 cup maple syrup
- 1/2 cup chopped pecans
What to Do
- Preheat oven to 450 degrees F.
- In a large bowl, combine potatoes, butter, cinnamon, and salt; toss until evenly coated. Place on baking sheets in a single layer. Bake 15 minutes, then turn potatoes over and bake 10 more minutes.
- Pour apple cider evenly over potatoes and continue to bake 10 minutes or until golden brown and fork-tender.
- Meanwhile, in a small saucepan over low heat, combine syrup and pecans; heat 5 to 7 minutes or until warmed. Serve maple glaze over potatoes.
