Main ingredients

  • 3 cloves Garlic minced just right to spread that flavor around
  • 1.5 lbs Sweet potatoes peeled and ready to turn soft and golden
  • 3 sprigs Fresh thyme leaves picked and chopped to freshen the dish up
  • 0.25 cup Parmesan freshly grated for cheesy kick on top
  • 0.25 cup Butter to melt and mingle with garlic for buttery base

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Coat an 8-inch baking dish with cooking spray.
  • Mix the cream and cornstarch until thoroughly combined.
  • Pour the mixture into a small saucepan over medium-low heat along with the butter, garlic, thyme leaves, sea salt, and freshly cracked pepper, to taste.
  • Cook just until the butter melts and the cream is warm, about 3-5 minutes. Remove from the heat and set aside until needed.
  • Using a mandolin or sharp knife, carefully slice the peeled potatoes into ⅛-inch thick rounds.
  • Fan out the potato rounds and arrange them in a decorative pattern in the baking dish.
  • Pour the warm cream/butter mixture evenly over the sweet potatoes.
  • Place in the oven and bake for 30-35 minutes.
  • Remove from the oven and sprinkle the top evenly with Parmesan cheese.
  • Return the baking dish to the oven to bake for 10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted.
  • Serve the sweet potatoes warm. Enjoy.
  • Cover the baking dish tight with foil and bake for 25 minutes. Then pull off the foil and cook 20 more minutes uncovered so the top crisps golden brown.
  • Let the dish cool a bit before serving so all the flavors relax together.
