Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 2 sweet potatoes, medium
  • 2 tsp Olive Oil
  • 1/4 tsp Chili powder (or to taste)
  • 7 oz Leyden Cheese

Instruction

  • Preheat oven to 400° F.
  • Wash and dry sweet potatoes. Slice sweet potatoes, crosswise about 1/2" thick slices. DO NOT slice the potatoes, through. Only cut about 2/3 of the way through the potato.
  • Place potatoes on a baking tray, and place in oven. Parchment paper under potatoes will aid with cleanup.
  • While potatoes are cooking, mix olive oil and chili powder together in a small bowl.
  • Check potatoes for done-ness after about 40 minutes. If they are starting to soften, remove them from oven. Carefully baste the olive oil and chili powder mixture between each slice in the potato.
  • Resume cooking until potatoes are done to your likeness. About 15 minutes, depending on the size of your sweet potato.
  • Slice cheese into fairly thick slices.
  • When potatoes are done, remove from oven and insert pieces of the cheese in between each slice. Return to oven but only for 2-3 minutes because the cheese will melt quickly.
