Crispy Sweet Potato

3 tablespoons salted or unsalted butter, melted

3 tablespoons olive oil

Coarse salt and black pepper or red pepper flakes to taste

2 kg sweet potatoes, peeled and sliced thin

2 shallots, peeled and sliced thin

Heat oven to 190°C. Heat butter and oil together until butter has melted. Pour 2 tablespoons of the mixture in the bottom of a 2l baking dish. (9.5-by-12-inches.) Sprinkle butter/oil puddle with some salt and pepper. Arrange your potato slices vertically in the dish. Add a sliver of shallot between every few slices of potato, if desired. Brush tops of potatoes with remaining butter/oil and season generously with more salt and pepper. Cover dish with foil and bake for 45 to 50 minutes, until potatoes are tender and almost fully cooked. Increase oven heat to 230°C, remove foil and let roast another 10 to 20 minutes, until tops of sweet potatoes are nicely browned.
