Sweet Potato Parmesan Gratin

Sweet Potato Parmesan Gratin

Ingredients:
2 organic sweet potatoes, sliced in thin rounds

1 small red or yellow potato

¼ teaspoon salt

¼ teaspoon freshly ground pepper

1 teaspoon thyme, roughly chopped (fresh or dried)

¾ -1 cup Parmesan cheese, finely grated

2 cups low-fat milk (I used 2%)

Preparation:

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.

Butter or lightly oil a baking dish or cast iron skillet.

Place the sliced potatoes in a bowl and season generously with salt and pepper. Add the
thyme and half of the cheese and toss together.

Transfer to the dish and pour on the milk. It should just cover the potatoes.

Bake 30 minutes, remove from oven and carefully drain off a bit of the liquid (about 1/3 cup).

Sprinkle the remaining cheese over the top and return to the oven.

Bake another 45-50 minutes, until the milk is absorbed, the potatoes are soft and the top and
edges are golden and around the edges. (Optional: drain off a bit more of the liquid as using
low-fat milk instead cream can result in a bit of wateriness.)

Let rest at least 20 minutes before serving so the juices can redistribute.

Can be made ahead of time and reheated in the microwave or oven for serving.
