Time 37m

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

4 large cooked sweet potatoes (about 8 ounces each), peeled and cut into 1/4-inch slices
8 ounces grated Gruyere cheese
2 cloves garlic, peeled, smashed and minced
1 cup heavy cream
Pinch nutmeg

Tips:

  • Choose the right sweet potatoes. Look for firm, unblemished sweet potatoes that are about the same size. This will ensure that they cook evenly.
  • Use a sharp knife to thinly slice the sweet potatoes. This will help them cook quickly and evenly.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan when cooking the sweet potatoes. This will prevent them from steaming instead of roasting.
  • Season the sweet potatoes generously with salt and pepper. This will help to bring out their natural sweetness.
  • Use a good quality cheese. The cheese is one of the main flavors in this dish, so it's important to use a good quality one. A sharp cheddar cheese or a creamy Gruyère cheese are both good options.
  • Don't overcook the sweet potato gratin. The sweet potatoes should be tender but still slightly firm. If you overcook them, they will become mushy.

Conclusion:

Sweet potato gratin is an easy and delicious side dish that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. It's perfect for a weeknight meal or a special occasion dinner. With its creamy cheese sauce and crispy sweet potato topping, it's sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it.
