Best Sunnys Double Decker Blackened Honey Chicken And Accordion Sweet Potatoes Recipes

SUNNY'S HOLIDAY VIBE SWEET POTATOES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with nonstick aluminum foil.
• Break the frozen patties apart and place on the prepared baking sheet. Divide the brown sugar evenly over each patty. Sprinkle with nutmeg, cinnamon sugar, lemon zest, a pinch of salt and a grind or two of black pepper. Bake until golden around the edges, 20 to 25 minutes. Serve with a spritz of lemon juice.

ACCORDION POTATOES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
• Smash a clove of garlic and place it in a small saucepan with the butter. Melt over medium-low heat.
• Using a sharp knife, make crosswise cuts in each potato about 1/8 inch apart, stopping about 1/4 inch from the bottom. Brush each potato generously with the garlic butter and sprinkle with salt and pepper.
• Bake the potatoes for 30 minutes, then take them out and re-brush with the remaining butter. Bake for another 15 minutes, then (using tongs because they will be hot) stuff the potatoes with the cheese in between the slices. Sprinkle the remaining cheese on top of the potatoes and cook until the cheese has melted. Top with the sour cream, bacon and chives.

GARLICKY HASSELBACK SWEET POTATOES

Steps:

• Heat the oven to 425 degrees. Pour 1 tablespoon olive oil into a large cast-iron skillet, swirl it so it coats the whole pan, then put it in the oven while you cut the potatoes.
• Cut the potatoes in half lengthwise, place cut side down on a cutting board, then use a knife to make 1/8-inch slices on a slight bias from the top to the bottom of the potato half. Cut almost all of the way through the potato, stopping before you reach the bottom. (A serrated knife makes the job easier. You can also lay chopsticks down on either side of the potato to keep the knife from slipping through the potato.)
• Carefully remove the skillet from the oven and nestle the sweet potato halves inside in a single layer. Drizzle the top of each with 1/2 teaspoon olive oil, sprinkle with salt, then bake for 30 minutes.
• Meanwhile, add the butter to a small pot with 1 teaspoon salt. Grate the garlic into the pot with a microplane, then heat over low until the butter is melted.
• Take the sweet potatoes out of the oven and, keeping in mind that the pan is hot, use a fork or offset spatula to gently pry the slices apart so that there's more room between each one. Use a brush to generously coat the potatoes with garlic butter (the more you get inside the slices, the better). Reserve any excess.
• Bake for an additional 10 minutes. For extra crisp edges, broil potatoes for 2 to 4 minutes, until the ruffles are charred. Brush with reserved garlic butter, and serve.
