Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 1kg (2lbs) sweet potatoes, peeled
  • 1 garlic clove, peeled and crushed
  • 300ml (1/2 pt) double cream
  • 2.5ml (1/2 tsp) salt
  • 100g (3oz) parmesan, grated

Instructions

  2. Either use a food processor or cut the sweet potatoes thinly by hand.
  3. Place the cream, salt and garlic in a small saucepan and warm gently.
  4. Arrange the sweet potato slices in an ovenproof dish and pour over the creamy sauce.
  5. Place in oven and bake for 25-30 minutes.
  6. Remove from oven, top with cheese and rosemary sprigs, then place in the oven again.
  7. Bake for another 15 minutes until a golden crust has formed on top.
  8. Serve with a green salad or roast meat.

Notes

  • While processing the sweet potatoes, place the peeled ones in water to deter the browning (oxidation) process.
  • The preparation time stated is for when you use a food processor to cut the sweet potato. If slicing by hand it will take you longer.
  • Be careful not to overheat the cream, which will lead it to thicken too much, as it did in photo above. I ended up more a bit more cream in.
  • Cooking times may vary according to the type of oven and its efficiency.
