Caramelized Onion Scalloped Sweet Potatoes
Makes 6 to 8 servings
Ingredients
- 3 tablespoons salted butter
- 1 large yellow onion, thinly sliced
- 2 cups heavy whipping cream
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh thyme
- 2 teaspoons kosher salt
- ½ teaspoon ground black pepper

- 4 large sweet potatoes, peeled and thinly sliced
- ½ cup shredded Parmesan cheese

Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375°
- In a large skillet, melt butter over medium-high heat. Add onion; cook, stirring frequently, until lightly browned, about 15 minutes. Reduce heat to medium-low; cook until golden brown, about 20 minutes more. Stir in cream, thyme, salt, pepper, and nutmeg, and bring to a low boil.
- In a 2-quart baking dish, place an even layer of sweet potato slices. Drizzle with 3 tablespoons cream mixture. Repeat layers to use all sweet potatoes and cream mixture. Cover with foil.

Notes
Kitchen Tip: A mandoline is the best tool for getting thin slices of sweet potatoes.
