Time 1h10m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 10

¼ cup unsalted butter, divided
1 cup diced onion
2 tablespoons minced garlic
4 cups 3/4-inch sweet potato slices
2 cups heavy whipping cream, divided
1 cup 1-inch peeled acorn squash cubes
2 sprigs fresh thyme, leaves removed
kosher salt and ground black pepper to taste

Steps:

  • Melt 2 tablespoons butter in a heavy saucepan over medium heat. Cook and stir onion and garlic in hot butter until onion is golden and soft, 5 to 10 minutes.

I had some trouble getting the cheese to melt evenly. I think I may have used too much cheese.

This recipe was a bit too sweet for my taste. I would recommend using less sugar in the sauce.

This was a great way to use up leftover sweet potatoes and acorn squash. I added a bit of crumbled bacon to the sauce and it was delicious.

I'm not a big fan of sweet potatoes, but I really enjoyed this dish. The sweetness of the potatoes was balanced out by the savory sauce and cheese.

Wow, this sweet potato and acorn squash au gratin was absolutely delicious! The combination of flavors was perfect, and the cheese was gooey and melted just the way I like it. I will definitely be making this again soon.
