Tips:

  • Choose the right sweet potatoes: Look for firm, smooth sweet potatoes without bruises or blemishes. Avoid any that are soft or have cracks in the skin.
  • Use a sharp knife: A sharp knife will make it easier to slice the sweet potatoes evenly and prevent them from breaking.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan: When baking the sweet potatoes, make sure to leave enough space between them so that they can cook evenly.
  • Use a baking dish with high sides: This will prevent the sauce from bubbling over and making a mess in your oven.
  • Bake the sweet potatoes until they are tender: The sweet potatoes are done baking when they are easily pierced with a fork.
  • Serve the sweet potatoes immediately: Cheddar Scalloped Sweet Potatoes are best served hot and fresh out of the oven.

Conclusion:
