Savory Sweet Potato Bake
I originally posted this recipe a few years ago -- in this post, outlining when I did a Thanksgiving Special with Rachael Ray.
I figured it needed it's own post though.
I've made this quite a few times since then, and have also brought it along to a Friendsgiving PotLuck.
It's a fun twist on a holiday classic -- and it pairs well with a sophisticated and grown up palate.
Yes, I still make the kind with the marshmallows....
but sometimes you just want something a bit different.
I think you'll enjoy it!
Savory Sweet Potato
Bake
serves 8 to 10
1 tablespoon salted butter
5 pounds sweet potatoes, peeled, and sliced in 2-inch rounds that are about 1/4-inch thick.
2 teaspoons chipotle chile powder, divided
1 teaspoon kosher salt, divided
14 to 16 ounces shredded Gruyere cheese, divided
2 cups heavy cream
Smear the butter all over the 6-quart insert of your slow cooker. Put 1/3 of the sweet potato rounds into your slow cooker, and sprinkle on 1/3 teaspoon of chipotle chile powder and a 1/3 teaspoon of kosher salt.

Add 1/3 of the shredded cheese. Repeat layers until you have run out of
ingredients. Pour heavy cream evenly over the top.
Cover, and cook on low for 5 hours, or on high for about 2 hours.
Serve hot or at room temperature (I actually prefer room-temp).
The Verdict.
This is a sweet potato dish for Grown Ups. I LOVE it. I love how the salt and the sweet is all in there at the same time.
I really and truly could eat this every single day.
My kids prefer the sweet kind ---
I really like this one. Of course, I'm old now. So there's that.

This sounds wonderful! I'm not a fan of the marshmallow version, this sounds much more up my alley!
