Hassleback Sweet Potatoes


Ingredients:
4 medium (6 ounce) sweet potatoes, scrubbed
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil (garlic flavor recommended!)
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1/4 cup plain Greek yogurt
2 tablespoons adobo sauce (from canned chipotle chilies)
Juice of 1/2 of a lime
salt and pepper to taste
Directions:
Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Carefully cut each potato into 1/8″ slices, cutting almost to the bottom but not quite through (leave about 1/4  of an inch on the bottom.) Mix the oil, salt, garlic powder, and pepper and rub all over the potatoes, getting into the cuts as much as possible.
Place the potatoes, cut side up, on a baking sheet. Bake for 50-60 minutes or until tender inside and crispy on the outside.
While the potatoes are baking, whisk together the Greek yogurt, adobo sauce, lime juice, salt, and pepper. When the potatoes are done, drizzle the sauce evenly over the potatoes and serve immediately. Makes 4 potatoes.
