Yield Makes 10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

4 pounds red-skinned sweet potatoes (yams; about 3 1/4 pounds)
1 tablespoon curry powder
1 tablespoon ground cumin
3/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
3/4 teaspoon ground ginger
1/2 teaspoon (scant) salt
1 1/2 cups sour cream, divided
3 cups shredded extra-sharp white cheddar (about 12 ounces)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350°F. Cook sweet potatoes in large pot of boiling salted water until just tender, about 20 minutes (do not overcook). Drain well and cool. Peel sweet potatoes; cut into 1/4-inch-thick slices.
  • Mix curry powder, cumin, cinnamon, ginger, and salt in small bowl to blend. Completely line bottom of 9-inch-diameter springform pan with sweet potato slices, filling in any spaces with cut-up sweet potato slices. Press down lightly. Spread 1/2 cup sour cream over sweet potatoes. Sprinkle 1 tablespoon spice mixture over sour cream. Sprinkle with 1 cup cheese. Repeat twice with remaining sweet potatoes, sour cream, spice mixture, and cheese. Place pan on rimmed baking sheet; bake until cheese is melted and sweet potatoes are heated through, about 40 minutes. DO AHEAD Can be made 8 hours ahead. Cover and chill. If desired, reheat in 400°F oven until hot, about 15 minutes.
  • Remove pan sides from gratin; cut into wedges. Serve gratin warm or at room temperature.

This recipe was a miss for me. The gratin was bland and the texture was mushy. I think I'll stick to my old sweet potato casserole recipe.

Overall, I thought this was a good recipe. It was easy to make and the gratin turned out well. However, I think I would make a few changes next time to suit my own taste preferences.

The gratin was good, but I think it could have been better if I had used a different type of cheese. I used cheddar, but I think a Gruyère or Parmesan would have been better.

I found that the gratin was a bit dry. I think I would add a little more liquid next time, maybe some vegetable broth or white wine.

The gratin was a bit too spicy for my taste, but I think that's just a personal preference. I would recommend using less chili powder if you don't like spicy food.

I love that this dish can be made ahead of time. It's perfect for busy weeknights when I don't have a lot of time to cook.

The gratin was easy to make and didn't require any fancy ingredients. I had everything I needed in my pantry, which was a huge plus.

I've never been a huge fan of sweet potatoes, but this gratin changed my mind! The spices really brought out the natural sweetness of the potatoes, and the cheesy topping was the perfect finishing touch.

I substituted almond milk for the heavy cream to make this dish vegan, and it turned out wonderfully! The almond milk added a subtle nutty flavor that complemented the spices nicely.
