Ingredients

Main ingredients

  • 4 medium medium sweet potatoes, thinly sliced
  • 2 cups heavy cream
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 cup grated cheddar cheese
  • 1 tablespoon butter for dotting the top
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Fresh thyme (optional, for garnish)

Method

Preparation

  • Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  • In a saucepan, combine the heavy cream and minced garlic. Heat over medium until just simmering.

Layering and Baking

  • In a greased baking dish, layer half of the sweet potato slices, followed by half of the cream mixture. Sprinkle with salt, pepper, and half of the cheddar cheese.
  • Repeat the layers with the remaining sweet potatoes, cream, salt, pepper, and cheese.
  • Dot the top with butter.
  • Cover with foil and bake for 40 minutes.
  • Remove the foil and bake for an additional 20-30 minutes until the potatoes are tender and the top is golden and bubbly.
  • Let sit for a few minutes, garnish with fresh thyme if desired, and serve warm.

Notes

For perfectly even sweet potato slices, use a mandoline slicer. Consider adding a pinch of nutmeg for extra warmth. You can substitute the heavy cream with half-and-half for a lighter version. Feel free to switch up the cheese; Gruyère or fontina also work beautifully.
