    Sounds good, but i don't understand what you mean about the wooden spoon. How do you cut it?

    I think she means she lays a wooden spoon right next to the potato and then cuts down into the potato using the wooden spoon as a type of "stop" indicator so she doesn't cut all the way through.

    I believe this would be considered a Hasselback sweet potato (judging by the recipe). If you do a Google search and find an image it will be much clearer what melindasuefri means by using a spoon so that you don't cut all the way through the potato.

    Something like this:

    Ingredients
    4 medium sweet potatoes
    1 tablespoon unsalted butter, melted
    1 teaspoon olive oil
    1 teaspoon finely chopped fresh thyme leaves
    1 garlic clove, finely grated on a microplane
    Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
    1/3 cup nonfat Greek-style yogurt
    1 scallion, white and green parts chopped

    Directions


    Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil.

    Make a series of 1/8-inch slices along each potato, slicing 2/3 of the way through.

    Stir together the butter, oil, thyme, garlic, 1/4 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper in a small bowl. Rub the potatoes all over with the mixture, getting in between the slices.

    Place on the baking sheet and roast until the center of the potatoes are tender and the outside is crisp, 50 minutes to 1 hour. Halfway through the roasting time, remove the potatoes from the oven and run a fork gently across the tops of the potatoes, using light pressure, to fan the slices and separate them from one another.

    Meanwhile, stir the yogurt and scallions with a pinch salt and a pinch pepper. Serve the sauce with the potatoes.
