Sweet Potato Au Gratin
Ingredients
4-5 medium sweet potatoes; thinly sliced
1 1/2 cups heavy cream
2 cups shredded gruyere
2 tablespoons thyme
salt and pepper
Directions
In a large prepared baking dish, line the sweet potatoes standing up on their sides.
In a small sauce pan, add the heavy cream. As it begins to heat, add 1 1/2 cups of the gruyere and thyme. Season with salt and pepper. Cook over medium low heat for about 10 minutes.
Pour the cream sauce over the sweet potatoes. Transfer to a 425 degree oven and bake for about 40 - 45 minutes or until potatoes have cooked through and sauce is bubbly. Sprinkle the remaining 1/2 cup of gruyere over the potatoes. Place back in the oven for 5-7 minutes or until cheese has melted.
