  • 1 lb sweet potatoes, thinly sliced
  • 2 cups heavy cream

Instructions

  8. Cover the dish tightly with aluminum foil.

Notes

  • This gratin can be assembled up to 24 hours in advance. Cover and refrigerate. Add an extra 10-15 minutes to the covered baking time if baking from cold.
  • To reheat, cover the gratin with foil and warm in a 350°F (175°C) oven until heated through.
  • For a herb variation, add 1 tablespoon of fresh thyme or rosemary to the cream mixture.
