Number Of Ingredients 10

2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
2 large Vidalia onions, thinly sliced
2 1/2 pounds sweet potatoes, peeled and thinly sliced
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
1 teaspoon cinnamon
Freshly ground black pepper
3 cups shredded English cheddar cheese
1 cup heavy cream

Steps:

Add half of the onion mixture, then half of the shredded English cheddar. Repeat process. Top with remaining potatoes in a spiral and then with remaining cheese.

This dish was a disappointment. The sweet potatoes were undercooked and the Vidalia onions were too strong. I won't be making this again.

This recipe is a keeper! The sweet potatoes and Vidalia onions cook together perfectly and the English cheddar adds a rich, creamy flavor. I served this dish with roasted chicken and it was a perfect meal.

Not bad, but not great. The sweet potatoes were a bit too sweet for my taste and the Vidalia onions didn't add much flavor. I think I'll stick to my usual scalloped potato recipe.

This dish was easy to make and turned out delicious. I used Gruyère cheese instead of English cheddar and it was still very good. I would definitely make this again.

I tried this recipe last night and it was a hit! The sweet potatoes were perfectly cooked and the Vidalia onions added a nice sweetness. The English cheddar was a great finishing touch. I will definitely be making this again.
