Patate dolci all’aglio e formaggio

Ingredienti

• 4 sweet potatoes (small or medium sized, halved lengthwise, ends trimmed)
• 1 pinch coarse salt (to taste)
• 1 pinch cracked pepper (to taste)
• 3/4 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
• 1/2 cup parmesan cheese (fresh grated)
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley (or dried, chopped)
• 1/4 cup butter (softened at room temperature)
• 1 clove garlic (minced)
• 1 tablespoon fresh parsley (chopped)
• 1 pinch salt (to taste)

Preparazione

1. 1

   Heat oven to 220°C | 425°F. Brush the potatoes with the garlic butter and season each potato with salt and pepper. Arrange cut-side down on a lightly greased baking sheet until golden brown and the flesh is tender (about 20-30 minutes, depending on your oven).

2. 2

   Remove them from the oven, flip them cut-side up (skin side down) and top with the mozzarella, parmesan and parsley.

3. 3

   Change oven settings to broil on low or medium heat and broil until the cheese is golden and melted (about 2 minutes). Sprinkle with more salt and pepper, if desired. Serve warm.
