Scalloped Sweet Potatoes
Let’s get this delicious party started! First, we need to make sure we have all our ingredients ready. Here’s what you’ll need to create this fabulous dish:
- 4 large sweet potatoes, peeled and sliced thin
- 2 cups heavy cream
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tbsp fresh thyme leaves (or 1 tsp dried thyme)
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
Alright, folks, grab your apron because it’s time to roll up those sleeves and get cooking!
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C), because nothing says “let’s get cooking” like a hot oven.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the heavy cream, shredded cheddar, Parmesan cheese, minced garlic, and thyme. It should look like a creamy, cheesy dream.
- Take your beautiful sweet potato slices and layer them in a greased baking dish. Don’t worry about making it perfect; this isn’t a beauty contest!
- Pour the cheesy cream mixture over the sweet potatoes, ensuring that everything is generously coated. Sprinkle a bit of salt and pepper as you go, because seasoning is key!
- Cover the dish with aluminum foil and pop it in the oven for about 30 minutes. This gives your sweet potatoes a chance to get tender and cozy.
- After 30 minutes, remove the foil and let the magic happen! Bake for another 15 to 20 minutes, or until the top is bubbly and golden brown. Just try not to drool on the floor!
- Once it’s done, take it out of the oven and let it sit for a few minutes. Then, serve it up and bask in the glory of your culinary creation!
There you have it! A tantalizing dish that will impress anyone who dares step foot in your kitchen. Scalloped Sweet Potatoes are perfect for a holiday feast, a cozy dinner, or any occasion where comfort food is needed. Enjoy the cheesy goodness!
