Sweet Potato, Red Onion & Cotija Stacks
- 4 sweet potatoes large
- 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
- 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.
- Put potatoes in cold water to stop cooking. While potatoes cool, mash garlic, red pepper flakes and cilantro into cotija cheese until fully mixed.
- Cut off ends of potatoes and slice into 1/2 inch rounds. Try to keep skins intact if possible.
- 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.
- Bake for 10-15 minutes at 375 degrees or until cheese browns slightly.
- Drizzle with olive oil and add more cilantro before serving. Salt to taste.
