    Directions

      Directions

      1. Preheat oven to 350. Cut the sweet potatoes into thin, even slices. If you don't have a mandolin and are slicing by hand, make sure that the slices are the same thickness so they all cook at the same rate.

      2. In a bowl, toss the sliced sweet potatoes, pressed garlic, melted butter, olive oil, finely chopped parsley and rosemary together until the sweet potato slices are evenly coated.

      3. Arrange the slices in the skillet starting on the outer perimeter, layering the slices as pictured below. Once the outer row is completed, start a second row slanting the slices the opposite direction. Continue adding slices in rows until the skillet is full and all the sweet potato slices are arranged neatly in the skillet. 

      4. Bake covered with foil for 35-45 minutes depending on the size of your skillet that you are using. The sweet potatoes should be soft.

      5. Turn your oven up to 425. Brush the top of the potatoes with a small amount of olive oil. Place the uncovered skillet back in the oven for 15 minutes or until the potatoes are starting to brown around the edges. 

      6. Garnish with fresh rosemary or parsley. Serve & enjoy!

      This is one of my favorite recipes when in need of an elegant and tasty treat. This cake is unbelievably moist with a light floral and fruity flavor thanks to the olive oil. I love pairing flavors such as lemon or orange with this cake to enhance the taste of the olive oil.

      A rich, silky pasta with browned butter, sautéed mushrooms, fresh thyme, garlic, and just enough lemon to brighten the sauce. The creamy béchamel-style sauce comes together entirely in the skillet, then the pasta is finished right in the pan so every strand of pappardelle is coated.
