Sweet Potato Gratin

My contribution to our Thanksgiving meal was Sweet Potato Gratin. 

Our family tends to leave the sweet potatoes alone on thanksgiving. Something I DO NOT understand. I love them all the time. With sugar & syrup & candied nuts & marshmallows. I also just like them plain. This year I decided to go with something subtle. To let the sweet potatoes speak for themselves. The turn out was awesome. An empty pan. What more could I ask for?
 Thanks for the help Aunt Kristie!!! Including real whipping cream. That stuff is expensive on Thanksgiving. I think they jack up the prices on purpose.

 The ingredients: sweet potatoes, whipping cream, salt, nutmeg, cloves, cinnamon, & pepper. That's it.
 Layer with cream (with all the spices except salt & pepper) then potatoes then sprinkle with salt & pepper. Repeat until everything is gone.


Our pan barely fit in the oven...it was a close one.
