Garnet Yam & Sweet Potato Gratin Nugget Markets signature recipes

Topped with a crunchy mix of panko and Parmesan, this delicious root veggie dish is a fantastic addition to your Thanksgiving feast and your weekly dinner rotation!

Ingredients

  • 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened and divided
  • 2 cups heavy cream
  • Kosher salt, to taste
  • White pepper, to taste
  • 3 garnet yams, peeled and sliced into ⅛-inch rounds
  • 3 sweet potatoes, peeled and sliced into ⅛-inch rounds
  • 2 tablespoons chopped thyme, divided
  • ¼ cup panko
  • ¼ cup grated Parmesan

Preparation

Preheat oven to 375°F.

Grease the inside of a 9x9-inch baking dish with 1 tablespoon butter. Season the cream with salt and pepper and divide into two work bowls. Toss the sliced yams in one bowl and the sweet potatoes in the other to coat with cream.

Shingle the yams in a single layer on the bottom of the greased baking dish. Sprinkle with 1 teaspoon thyme. Next, shingle the sweet potatoes on top of the yams and repeat the pattern until the dish is filled to just below the top. Pour remaining cream over the top of the filled dish to just below the level of the yams and sweet potatoes.

Cover with parchment and foil and place on a lined baking sheet. Bake for 45–60 minutes, until a knife inserts easily into the center.

Melt 2 tablespoons butter and mix with the panko, Parmesan, and remaining thyme. Remove the cover of the grain and evenly distribute the panko mixture over the top.

Bake uncovered for about 10 minutes, until the top is golden brown. Let rest 10 minutes before serving.
