Sweet Potato Gratin is a rich and comforting side dish that beautifully balances the natural sweetness of sweet potatoes with a creamy, savory sauce. Its velvety texture and aromatic flavors make it a standout addition to any meal, ensuring every bite is a delightful experience.
Ingredients
2 large uncooked sweet potatoes, peeled and sliced 1/4 inch thick
1 large egg
2 cups heavy whipping cream
3/4 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon ground nutmeg
Pinch pepper
3 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese
Minced fresh thyme, optional
Instructions
1Prepare the ingredients
2Place potatoes in a greased 8 inch square baking dish. Beat the egg in a bowl. Add cream, salt, nutmeg and pepper and mix it well. Pour over the potatoes and sprinkle with Parmesan cheese.
3Bake and serve
4Bake, uncovered, at 375°F until the potatoes are tender, for 40 to 45 minutes. If desired, top with fresh thyme to serve. Editor’s Tip: If the top starts to brown too quickly, cover the gratin with foil during the latter part of baking to prevent burning while allowing the potatoes to cook through.
