Scalloped Sweet Potato

Hubby and I were sitting around one day (or night, whatever) watching the Food Network. Bobby Flay's Barbecue Addiction was on, and he was making hasselback sweet potato.

I was bringing a potato side dish to a family function, and thought that would make for a nice change of pace.
Though, there were going to be so many of us, I knew there was no way I could do enough hasselback style. It would have either been overwhelming, or a waste.

I sliced the potato thin and layered them with the butter mixture to create a scalloped potato version.

As discussed in another post, I have yet to ever try a sweet potato.
So...general consensus is that this is sweet and delicious.
The majority have spoken!

3 Large sweet potato (peeled and sliced thin)

1 ½ Sticks unsalted butter (softened)
