Description
A creamy and rich baked side dish made with layers of thin sweet potatoes, heavy cream, and cheese.
Ingredients
Scale
- 4 medium sweet potatoes, thinly sliced
- 2 cups heavy cream
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons butter, for greasing the baking dish
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a baking dish with butter.
- Arrange a layer of sweet potato slices at the bottom of the dish.
- Mix heavy cream, garlic powder, salt, and pepper in a bowl.
- Pour a portion of the cream mixture over the sweet potatoes.
- Sprinkle some cheddar and Parmesan cheese on top.
- Repeat the layers until all ingredients are used, finishing with cheese on top.
- Cover the dish with foil and bake for 30 minutes.
- Remove the foil and bake for an additional 15 minutes until golden brown.
Notes
Preheating makes the cooking steady from the start. Greasing stops sticking and adds flavor. Covering traps steam so the potatoes soften. Removing foil at the end lets moisture escape and the cheese color up. Let it rest a few minutes before serving so the cream sets.
