INGREDIENTS
  • Sweet Potatoes: 3 large, cut into thin 1/8-inch circles for quick baking
  • Parmesan Cheese: ¼ cup, freshly grated for the crunchy top layer
  • Fresh Parsley: Chopped as a finishing touch
  • Chipotle Sauce: 3-4 tbsp scraped from canned chipotle peppers in adobo for a kick
  • Black Pepper: Freshly ground, as needed
  • Kosher Salt: 1¼ tsp, with extra if you want
  • Garlic Powder: 1 tsp, to boost flavor
  • Smoked Gouda Cheese (for topping): 2 oz shredded (roughly ½ cup)
  • Smoked Gouda Cheese: 8 oz shredded (about 2 cups), bringing that smoky goodness
  • Milk: 2 cups (pick your fat content based on how rich you want it)
  • All-Purpose Flour: ¼ cup, to make the sauce thick (swap for gluten-free if you need to)
  • Salted Butter: 3 tbsp, for making the sauce base
INSTRUCTIONS
Step 1:
Heat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease an 8x8-inch baking dish.
Step 2:
Arrange sweet potato rounds in three tight, angled rows in your greased pan.
Step 3:
Melt butter in a pot over medium heat, then mix in flour until smooth. Slowly pour in milk while stirring constantly to avoid clumps. Let it cook until thick, then add 8 oz smoked gouda, chipotle sauce, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Taste and tweak the seasoning if needed.
Step 4:
Drizzle your sauce all over the sweet potatoes, making sure they're well covered.
Step 5:
Cover with foil and bake between 45 minutes and 1 hour, until you can easily pierce the sweet potatoes with a fork.
Step 6:
Take off the foil, scatter the remaining gouda and parmesan on top, then broil until you get a bubbly, golden cheese crust.
Step 7:
Scatter fresh parsley on top and serve while it's hot.
Serving and Storage Tips
  • This goes perfectly with turkey, chicken, or ham at your holiday meal.
  • Leftovers will keep in the fridge up to 3 days. Warm them in the oven to keep them from getting soggy.
Helpful Notes
  • Put in more or less chipotle sauce depending on how spicy you like it.
  • A mandoline slicer really helps get those sweet potato slices even.

Tips from Well-Known Chefs

  • Chef Lina thinks a tiny bit of nutmeg makes creamy sauces taste even better.

05 3-4 tablespoons of the sauce from a chipotle chile in adobo can.
06 A sprinkle of black pepper, freshly ground.
07 1 teaspoon garlic powder.
08 2 cups milk (any kind: skim, 2%, or whole works great).

Place the sweet potato slices snugly in the pan, creating three neat rows at a slant.

Put foil over the pan and bake for about 45 to 60 minutes, checking that the sweet potatoes are nice and soft.

Before serving, sprinkle chopped parsley over the top.
