Chipotle Sweet Potato Gratin
Ingredients
- 3 cups heavy cream
- 2 Tbs. dark brown sugar
- 1 Tbs. chipotle pepper puree or 1-2 tsp. chipotle sauce
- 5 large sweet potatoes, thinly sliced on mandolin (approx. 1/4 inch thick)
- Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
Instructions
Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Whisk together cream and chipotle puree.
In a seasoned 12” cast iron skillet or a large greased baking dish, arrange potatoes in an even layer over the bottom of the baking dish, over lapping each one ; drizzle with some of the prepared cream mixture, then season with salt and pepper, to taste.
Repeat with remaining potatoes and cream to form additional layers, seasoning with salt and pepper as you go.
Cover and bake for 30 minutes; remove cover and continue to bake for additional 30-40 minutes or until most of cream has been absorbed and the potatoes are cooked through, fork-tender, and top is deliciously golden brown.
Serves 8-10
