Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 1 teaspoon minced garlic
  • 1 small onion, diced
  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 2 smoky chipotles, minced
  • 1 1/2 cups heavy cream
  • 1 cup chicken stock
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper
  • 2 pounds (about 5 to 7) yams (or sweet potatoes), peeled and cut into 1/4-inch disks
  • 8 ounces smoked Gouda, grated
  • 1/4 cup bread crumbs
  • 1/4 cup freshly chopped parsley leaves

Directions

Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F.

In a small saucepan over medium-high heat, melt the butter and add the garlic. When the garlic has browned, add the onions. Cook the onions until slightly caramelized, about 3 to 5 minutes. Stir in the flour and the chipotles and cook for an additional minute. Pour the cream and stock into the pan and stir. Season with salt and pepper, to taste. Bring the mixture to a simmer, stirring occasionally.

Layer about 1/3 of the yam slices in a well greased 11-inch baking dish. Drizzle 1/3 of the cream sauce over the yams and sprinkle some cheese on top. Repeat the steps, reserving 1/4 cup of the cheese.

In a small bowl, mix together the bread crumbs, reserved cheese and parsley. Set aside.

Cover the yams with foil and bake in the oven for 30 minutes. Remove from the oven, discard the foil and top with the bread crumb mixture. Return to the oven for an additional 15 minutes. Remove from the oven and allow to sit for 5 minutes before serving. Garnish with chopped parsley and serve.

    Tasty! Finally found great recipe that's not sweet. Although I know my uncle absolutely hated sweet potatoes his entire life - seriously, the only thing he won't eat - I surprised him with this side and it converted him - he was amazed at how much he enjoyed it. My husband, already likes sweet potatoes in any form, could not stop eating this dish until I took the tray away from him so I could prep for next day leftovers, and they were still terrific.

    DELICIOUS! I did it as an alternative side dish @ our holiday dinner this year and it was a hit, even for those who said they didn't care for chipotles... but that is a key element to the smoky taste this dish has. Would be an excellent accompaniment to RIBS!
