Sweet Potato Gratin

Since Thanksgiving is right around the corner, I thought I’d share some easy side dish ideas.  Whether you are hosting turkey day or going to friends, this sweet potato gratin will be sure to be a hit.  Personally, I think sweet potatoes are a crucial part of traditional thanksgiving dinner, but I never understood the overly sweet brown sugar and marshmallow version.  This simple, savory take is delicious…..thinly sliced, soft cheesy, creamy sweet potatoes baked to perfection.  For pure Thanksgiving indulgence, I would use half and half or heavy cream, but whole milk works too.  Enjoy!
