Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 2 pounds sweet potatoes peeled & sliced 1/16" thin
  • 4 tbsp. butter melted
  • 1 tbsp. brown sugar
  • 1 tsp. salt
  • 2 tsp. garlic minced
  • 1 tbsp. fresh thyme chopped
  • 1 ½ cup. gouda cheese shredded

Method
 

  1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Thoroughly grease a 12 muffin tin.
  2. In a small bowl combine melted butter, brown sugar, salt, garlic and thyme.
    4 tbsp. butter, 1 tbsp. brown sugar, 1 tsp. salt, 2 tsp. garlic, 1 tbsp. fresh thyme
  3. Put the sliced sweet potatoes in a large mixing bowl and add butter mixture. Mix to coat thoroughly.
    2 pounds sweet potatoes
  4. Add cheese and mix until evenly distributed.
    1 ½ cup. gouda cheese
  5. "Stack" sliced potatoes in each muffin tin until the potatoes are about an inch taller than the tin (they shrink as they cook).
  6. Bake 30-35 minutes until potatoes are tender and top & sides are golden brown.

Notes

  • Look for sweet potatoes on the small/medium size. If potatoes are too large, cut them to fit into muffin tins. 
  • A mandolin is your best friend for a recipe like this. It slices the potatoes thin and evenly.
  • A pair of clean hands are the best tools for mixing the cheese throughout the potatoes. Separate the slices to evenly coat.
