How to Make Irresistible Creamy Sweet Potato Cranberry Gratin

  • Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
  • Peel and slice the sweet potatoes into uniform rounds, about ¼ inch thick.
  • Grease a baking dish with butter to prevent sticking.
  • Whisk together the heavy cream, brown sugar, nutmeg, salt, and pepper in a bowl until smooth.
  • Layer half of the sweet potato slices in the baking dish, pour half of the cream mixture over, and sprinkle half of the cranberries.
  • Repeat layering with the remaining sweet potatoes, cream mixture, and cranberries.
  • Top with toasted breadcrumbs and bake uncovered for 45-50 minutes until golden brown and bubbly.

Notes

Let the gratin rest for a few minutes after baking for easier serving. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to three days.
