Chipotle Sweet Potato Gratin




Source of Recipe

Recipe Introduction


This dish is close to aphrodisiacal. As it bakes, the heavy cream is absorbed by the potatoes, so the gratin is firm, not creamy or soupy. The chipotle pepper adds a surprising jolt of spice.



List of Ingredients




4 cups heavy cream
2 canned chipotle peppers (and some of the adobo sauce)
6 medium sweet potatoes, peeled and sliced thin



Recipe



Preheat the oven to 350° F.

Puree the chipotles with a small amount of cream in a food processor. Put remaining cream in a small bowl and add the pureed chipotles. Stir well.

In a large casserole dish arrange a fourth of the sweet potatoes then pour a fourth of the cream over all. Repeat with the remaining potatoes and cream, forming 4 layers. May be prepared up to this point one half hour ahead, covered, and refrigerated.

Bake for 1 hour, or until the cream has been absorbed and the potatoes are browned.
