Rich, creamy scalloped sweet potatoes with a garlicky sauce and cheesy topping—perfect for holiday gatherings or comforting weeknight dinners.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4–5 medium-sized sweet potatoes, peeled and thinly sliced
  • 2 cups heavy cream
  • 1 cup milk
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme or 2 teaspoons fresh thyme leaves
  • A pinch of nutmeg
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper, freshly cracked
  • 1 cup cheddar cheese, shredded
  • ½ cup parmesan cheese, grated

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease your baking dish with butter or cooking spray.
  2. Peel and slice the sweet potatoes evenly, aiming for slices about 1/8-inch thick for even cooking.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the heavy cream, milk, garlic, thyme, nutmeg, salt, and pepper until well combined.
  4. Arrange half of the sweet potato slices in your baking dish, overlapping them slightly. Pour half of the cream sauce over the potatoes, spreading it evenly.
  5. Sprinkle half of the cheddar and parmesan cheeses over the first layer of potatoes.
  6. Add the remaining sweet potato slices, pour over the remaining cream sauce, and top with the rest of the cheeses.
  7. Cover the dish with aluminum foil and bake for 40 minutes.
  8. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 20-25 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender and the top is golden and bubbly.
  9. Allow the dish to sit for 5-10 minutes before serving to let the sauce thicken slightly.

Notes

[‘Slice sweet potatoes evenly for consistent cooking.’, ‘Let the dish rest for 5-10 minutes before serving to allow the sauce to set.’, ‘Switch to broil for the last couple of minutes if the top isn’t golden enough, but watch closely to avoid burning.’, ‘You can prepare the dish up to the baking stage and refrigerate it for up to 24 hours before baking.’]
