Ingredients

Scale

Sweet Potatoes

  • 4 medium sweet potatoes, peeled and thinly sliced

Cream Sauce

  • 1 1/2 cups heavy cream
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper

Cheese

  • 1 1/2 cups shredded sharp cheddar cheese

Instructions

  1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) to ensure even baking of the potatoes.
  2. Prepare the Cream Sauce: In a small bowl, mix together the heavy cream, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
  3. Layer the Potatoes: In a greased baking dish, arrange a layer of the thinly sliced sweet potatoes evenly on the bottom.
  4. Add Cream Sauce: Pour a portion of the cream sauce over the sweet potatoes, spreading it evenly.
  5. Add Cheese: Sprinkle a layer of shredded cheddar cheese over the cream-coated potatoes.
  6. Repeat Layers: Continue layering sweet potatoes, cream sauce, and cheese, finishing with a top layer of cheese.
  7. Bake: Cover the dish with foil and bake in the preheated oven for 45 minutes. Remove foil and bake for an additional 15 minutes, or until sweet potatoes are tender and the top is golden and bubbly.
  8. Rest and Serve: Let the scalloped sweet potatoes rest for 5 minutes before serving to allow the sauce to set.

Notes

  • For a richer flavor, you can substitute half-and-half for heavy cream.
  • Add herbs like thyme or rosemary for extra aroma.
  • Ensure sweet potatoes are sliced uniformly for even cooking.
  • You can prepare this dish a day ahead; just cover and refrigerate before baking.
