Kale & Sweet Potato Gratin image

This decadent recipe is from Saveur.com, and is among the best I've found on their site. It's definitely a calorie bomb, so I'll only make it for holidays or special occasions. You'll never want to add sugar to a sweet potato dish ever again, as the cheesy, savory flavors pair perfectly with the natural sweetness of sweet potatoes. It almost tastes like pizza, and while it's great as a side dish, I think it would make a great vegetarian entree.

Time 50m

Yield 8-10 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

5 tablespoons butter
3 garlic cloves, minced
kosher salt
fresh ground black pepper, to taste
1 bunch kale, stemmed and roughly chopped
2 1/2 lbs sweet potatoes, peeled and sliced about 1/8-inch thick
2 cups half-and-half
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1 cup white cheddar cheese or 1 cup sharp cheddar cheese, grated

Steps:

  • Preheat the over to 400°F Rub the inside of a 8"x8" baking dish with 1 tablespoon of the butter.
  • Combine garlic, kale, potatoes, half-and-half, cinnamon, nutmeg and remaining 4 tablespoons butter in a pot; stir. Season with salt and pepper and taste the creamy liquid-it should be seasoned generously. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat while stirring the mixture. After 8-10 minutes the potatoes will be a little tender, and their starch will have thickened the liquid considerably.
  • Transfer the mixture to the prepared dish; smooth the top as much as possible. Cover the gratin with cheddar and bake until deeply golden brown, about 20-30 minutes. Let gratin cool and set a little before serving.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my gratin turned out a little too runny. I think I should have cooked it for a few minutes longer.

This gratin was a little too bland for my taste. I think I should have added more salt and pepper.

I'm not usually a fan of kale, but this dish changed my mind. The kale was cooked perfectly and had a slightly sweet flavor that paired well with the sweet potatoes.
