This Scalloped Sweet Potatoes recipe features thinly sliced sweet potatoes layered with cheese and seasoned milk, baked until tender and golden brown. It's a comforting side dish perfect for any dinner occasion.

Ingredients

Main Ingredients

  • 2 large sweet potatoes
  • 1 cup cheese, shredded
  • 1 cup milk (dairy or dairy-free)
  • 2 tablespoons butter or oil
  • Salt, to taste
  • Black pepper, to taste
  • Dried herbs (such as thyme or rosemary), 1 teaspoon

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit to ensure it reaches the ideal temperature for baking the sweet potatoes evenly.
  2. Prepare Sweet Potatoes: Peel the sweet potatoes and slice them into thin, even rounds to allow for thorough cooking and layering.
  3. Layer Ingredients: Arrange a layer of sweet potato slices in the baking dish, then sprinkle some shredded cheese, salt, pepper, and herbs over the layer. Repeat layering until all slices and seasonings are used.
  4. Add Milk Mixture: Pour the milk evenly over the layered sweet potatoes to keep them moist during baking and help blend the flavors.
  5. Cover and Bake: Cover the dish tightly with aluminum foil and bake in the oven for 40 minutes or until the sweet potatoes are tender when pierced with a fork.
  6. Uncover and Finish Baking: Remove the foil, sprinkle an additional 1/4 cup of cheese on top, and bake uncovered for another 10 minutes or until the cheese is melted, bubbly, and golden brown.
  7. Serve: Remove the scalloped sweet potatoes from the oven and allow them to cool slightly. Serve warm as a delicious side dish.

Notes

  • Use a mandoline slicer for evenly thin sweet potato slices to ensure consistent cooking.
  • Feel free to substitute cheddar cheese with mozzarella or Gruyere for different flavor profiles.
  • For a dairy-free version, use plant-based milk and vegan cheese alternatives.
  • If you prefer, add minced garlic or caramelized onions between layers for extra flavor.
  • Let the dish rest for 5 minutes after baking to allow the sauce to thicken slightly before serving.
