  Position a sweet potato with a pencil or chopstick on either long side. Using a sharp knife, cut each sweet potato crosswise into thin slices, being careful not to cut all the way through the bottom (stop when the knife hits the pencils). Repeat with the remaining sweet potatoes. Place the sweet potatoes in a baking dish, cut-side up.
