Ingredients
Scale
- 3 large sweet potatoes, peeled and thinly sliced
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 cups heavy cream
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1/2 cup shredded Gruyère cheese
- 2 tbsp unsalted butter
- 1 tsp fresh thyme leaves
- Salt and black pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Butter a 9×13-inch baking dish.
- In a small saucepan, combine the heavy cream and minced garlic. Warm over medium heat until fragrant, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat.
- Layer half of the sliced sweet potatoes in the baking dish. Season with salt, pepper, and half of the thyme.
- Pour half of the garlic cream over the sweet potatoes, then sprinkle with half of the Parmesan and Gruyère cheeses.
- Repeat layering with the remaining sweet potatoes, seasonings, cream, and cheeses.
- Dot the top with butter pieces for added richness.
- Cover with foil and bake for 40 minutes. Remove foil and bake an additional 20 minutes until the top is golden and the potatoes are tender.
- Let cool for 5 minutes before serving. Garnish with extra thyme if desired.
Notes
For a lighter version, substitute half of the heavy cream with whole milk, and consider adding a pinch of nutmeg to enhance the warm flavors.
