Thinly sliced sweet potatoes in a wonderful garlic butter cream sauce and loaded with parmesan cheese. A delicious & decadent twist on classic scalloped potatoes. 

I recently found an easy garlic butter scalloped sweet potatoes recipe on A Spicy Perspective that I couldn’t resist making. What’s better than tender sweet potatoes smothered in a garlic butter cream sauce? We all loved this delicious sweet potato recipe, and it paired well with some roasted chicken, roasted asparagus, and some crusty bread.

Garlic Butter Scalloped Sweet Potatoes

Ingredients:

• ¾ cup heavy cream
• ½ tsp cornstarch
• ¼ cup butter
• 3 cloves of garlic, minced
• 3 small sprigs of fresh thyme, leaves removed & chopped
• Sea salt and freshly cracked pepper, to taste
• 1½ lbs sweet potatoes, peeled
• ¼ cup Parmesan, freshly grated

How to Make Garlic Butter Scalloped Sweet Potatoes

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 1/8-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.
