Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Creamy Sweet Potato Gratin.
Step 1
Begin by preheating your oven to a toasty 400°F (200°C) and lightly coat a baking dish with cooking spray to prevent sticking.
Step 2
In a saucepan, blend together heavy cream, unsalted butter, and minced garlic, heating the mixture over medium heat until it reaches a gentle simmer.
Step 3
Once simmering, take it off the heat and stir in a fragrant medley of chopped parsley, thyme, sage, rosemary, sea salt, and black pepper.
Step 4
Now, create a cozy layer by arranging half of the sweet potato slices in the greased baking dish, followed by a generous sprinkle of half the shredded Gruyere cheese.
Step 5
Drizzle half of the creamy garlic mixture over this layer.
Step 6
Repeat the process with the remaining sweet potato slices, topping them with the rest of the cream mixture and finishing with the remaining Gruyere cheese.
Step 7
Slide the dish into your preheated oven and let it bake for about 30 minutes, or until the top transforms into a golden brown, bubbly masterpiece that beckons you to dig in.
Step 8
Enjoy the delightful aroma wafting through your kitchen as you anticipate this comforting dish!.
