A delightful blend of sweet potatoes and a trio of rich cheeses, creating a creamy and indulgent side dish perfect for any occasion.

  • Total Time: 80 minutes
  • Yield: 6 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 sweet potatoes (cut into 1/8 inch slices)
  • 1 3/4 cups heavy cream
  • 4-5 cloves garlic (minced)
  • 2 tbsp unsalted butter (melted)
  • 1 1/2 cups Gruyère cheese (shredded)
  • 1/2 cup Gouda cheese (shredded)
  • 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese (shredded)
  • 2 tbsp fresh thyme
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. In a saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat, add minced garlic, and cook for 1-2 minutes until fragrant. Pour in heavy cream, season with salt and pepper, and heat for a couple of minutes.
  3. Grease a baking dish and layer the sliced sweet potatoes, seasoning each layer with salt, pepper, and thyme, and adding cheese between layers.
  4. Pour the cream mixture over the layered sweet potatoes, ensuring they are well-coated.
  5. Sprinkle the remaining cheese mixture over the top.
  6. Cover with aluminum foil and bake for about 45 minutes. Remove foil and bake for an additional 15-20 minutes until golden brown and bubbly.
  7. Allow to cool slightly before serving.

Notes

Using a mandolin slicer ensures evenly sliced potatoes. For a healthier option, consider substituting heavy cream with a Greek yogurt and milk mixture.
