Ingredients
- 3 lbs sweet potatoes, sliced
- 4 Tbsp unsalted butter
- 4 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 Tbsp all-purpose flour
- 1/3 cup parmesan cheese
- 1 cup whole milk
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream
- 1 tsp sea salt
- ¼ tsp ground black pepper
- 2 cups Colby Jack cheese, shredded
Instructions
Sweet potatoes should be peeled and thinly sliced into rounds.
Add the garlic and butter to a pot and cook until fragrant. Stir in the flour just until incorporated.
After adding the milk, cream, Parmesan cheese, and seasonings, gently simmer the mixture.
Take the cream from the stove and let it cool. Stir in the shredded cheese after it has cooled.
Place the sweet potato slices in a casserole dish in rows, then cover the slices with the cheese mixture.
Bake for 30 to 35 minutes at 400°F with a foil cover. Take off the foil and bake for a further 8 to 10 minutes. Warm up and serve.

FAQs
Can I freeze Scalloped Potatoes?
I wouldn’t advise freezing the casserole, though. Once thawed, neither the potatoes nor the sauce would be very tasty.
Can I substitute the sweet potatoes?
Yukon Gold potatoes will work well in place of the sweet potatoes, however sweet potatoes pair better with this cream.
Is the casserole sweet?
In order to preserve the natural sweetness of the sweet potatoes, we reduced the amount of salt in the recipe. Taste and add additional salt if you’d like a savourier dish. You can also incorporate any preferred seasonings, such rosemary or thyme, into the cream.
How long do I bake Scalloped Potatoes?
The baking time will vary depending on how thick the slices are. Sweet potatoes should be sliced extremely thinly. Mandolin slicers are useful. Because every oven is unique, make sure it’s ready by using a knife. When cooked, the potatoes should be easily pierced.
