Ingredients




4 large sweet potatoes
1/2 red onion, sliced
6 ounces cotija cheese
1/2 cup cilantro, chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 teaspoon red pepper flakes
Cumin

Olive oil

Salt

Preparation

1 Parboil sweet potatoes until they’re soft and easy to prick with a fork but not mushy. Approx. 15-30 minutes depending on size of potatoes. 2 Put potatoes in cold water to stop cooking. While potatoes cool, mash garlic, red pepper flakes and cilantro into cotija cheese until fully mixed. 3 Cut off ends of potatoes and slice into 1/2 inch rounds. Try to keep skins intact if possible. 4 On a baking sheet sprayed with cooking spray, place largest potato slice down, layer with a couple of onion slices, then cheese. Repeat. Each stack should have three slices of potato, ending with cheese on top. Sprinkle with cumin. 5 Bake for 10-15 minutes at 375 degrees or until cheese browns slightly. 6 Drizzle with olive oil and add more cilantro before serving. Salt to taste.
