Tips:

  • Choose the right potatoes: Sweet potatoes with dense, firm flesh, such as Garnet or Jewel sweet potatoes, hold their shape better than softer varieties, such as Beauregard or Covington sweet potatoes.
  • Use a sharp knife: A sharp knife will help you create even slices of sweet potatoes, which will cook evenly.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan: When cooking the sweet potatoes, make sure to give them enough space so that they can brown evenly.
  • Cook the sweet potatoes until they are tender: The sweet potatoes should be tender when pierced with a fork before adding the cheese sauce.
  • Use a roux-based cheese sauce: A roux-based cheese sauce is thicker and more flavorful than a simple cheese sauce made with just milk and cheese.
  • Use a flavorful cheese: A sharp cheddar cheese or a combination of cheeses, such as cheddar, Parmesan, and Gruyère, will give the scalloped sweet potatoes the best flavor.
  • Bake the scalloped sweet potatoes until they are golden brown: The scalloped sweet potatoes should be baked until the cheese sauce is bubbly and golden brown.

Scalloped sweet potatoes au gratin is a delicious and easy-to-make side dish that is perfect for any occasion.
