Scalloped Sweet Potatoes with Brie
Scalloped potatoes is one of my favorite potato recipes (other than really good french fries and mashed potatoes), and I made them with sweet potatoes this time.
Ingredients
- 2 large sweet potatoes or 3 smaller
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic
- 4 ounces pancetta or bacon
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 5 sprigs fresh thyme
- 4 ounces Brie cheese
- salt and pepper
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F.
- Peel the sweet potatoes and cut them in slices.
- Mince the garlic and cut the pancetta in strips.
- Cook the potato slices in boiling water for about 3 minutes and drain.
- Heat the oil in a skillet, add the garlic and then the pancetta and cook for approx. 5 minutes.
- Add the potato slices to the skillet and cook another 3 minutes.
- Add the cream, and the thyme leaves. Season with salt and pepper and stir until well mixed.
- Transfer mixture to a dish and top the dish with sliced of brie (leave the rind on the cheese).
- Bake in the oven for about 10 minutes.
