This Sweet Potato Gratin is a firm favorite at Thanksgiving in my house. It is so simple to prepare – I usually prepare it in advance and simply bake it in the oven just before I want to serve it.
For this recipe, I start by making a sauce from cream, garlic, thyme, nutmeg, salt and pepper. As the sauce cooks, season potatoes with salt and pepper in a large bowl. Layer the potatoes into a prepared dish and pour the cream sauce over the potatoes. Cover the dish tightly with foil and bake until the potatoes are tender. Remove the foil and sprinkle with cheese. Return to the oven until the top is golden brown. Garnish the gratin with parsley if desired.
To make my Sweet Potato Gratin, you will need the following ingredients:
Preheat the oven to 325 °F and lightly grease an 11-inch casserole dish with butter.
Bring 1 cup of half-and-half cream, 2 cloves of garlic, 1 tablespoon of fresh thyme, ⅛ teaspoon of ground nutmeg, 1/2 teaspoon of kosher salt, and ¼ teaspoon of ground black pepper to a boil in a small saucepan over medium heat. Reduce the heat to low and simmer for about 15 minutes until the garlic is tender. Remove from heat.
In a large bowl, mix the sweet potato slices, remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt, and remaining 1/4 teaspoon pepper.
Layer the sweet potato slices into the prepared baking dish.
Pour the cream sauce over the potatoes and cover the dish tightly with foil.
Bake the covered gratin in the oven for about 45 minutes. Remove the foil and sprinkle with ½ a cup of Parmesan cheese. Increase the oven heat to 400 °F and bake for about 15 minutes until bubbly and golden brown on top.
Garnish with freshly chopped parsley and serve.
