Tips:

  • Choose the right sweet potatoes: Look for firm, unblemished sweet potatoes that are about the same size so they cook evenly.
  • Use a sharp knife to slice the sweet potatoes: This will help you get even slices that will cook evenly.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan: If you crowd the pan, the sweet potatoes will not cook evenly and will become mushy.
  • Use a good quality cheese: The cheese is one of the main flavors in this dish, so use a cheese that you enjoy. A sharp cheddar or Gruyère cheese would be a good choice.
  • Don't overcook the sweet potatoes: Overcooked sweet potatoes will become mushy. Cook them just until they are tender.

Conclusion:

Scalloped sweet potatoes with Vidalia onion and English cheddar is a delicious and easy side dish that is perfect for any occasion. The sweet potatoes are tender and flavorful, the onions add a bit of sweetness and crunch, and the cheese is melted and gooey. This dish is sure to be a hit with everyone at your table.
