Ingredients Needed:
- 2 cups heavy cream
- 1 heaping tablespoon of chipotle pepper puree
- 3 medium sweet potatoes, peeled and thinly sliced 1/8-inch thick
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper
How To Make Smoked Chile Scalloped Sweet Potatoes?
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 190°C.
- Prepare the Cream Mixture: In a bowl, whisk together the heavy cream 480ml and chipotle pepper puree 15g until smooth.
- Layer the Potatoes: In a 23x23cm casserole dish, arrange the thinly sliced sweet potatoes 600g in even layers.
- Add the Cream: Drizzle 45ml of the cream mixture over the potatoes. Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper.
- Continue Layering: Continue layering the remaining potatoes, cream, and seasoning to form about 10 layers.
- Bake the Dish: Cover the casserole dish with aluminum foil and bake for 30 minutes. After 30 minutes, remove the foil and bake for an additional 45 minutes to 1 hour, or until the cream has been absorbed and the potatoes are cooked through with a browned top.
Recipe Tips:
- Slice the Sweet Potatoes Thinly: Make sure the sweet potatoes are sliced thinly around 3mm so they cook evenly and absorb the cream mixture.
- Layer Carefully: Layer the potatoes in even layers to ensure each slice gets enough cream and seasoning for a balanced flavor.
- Adjust the Spice: Add more chipotle pepper puree if you prefer a spicier kick or use less for a milder flavor.
- Check for Tenderness: Check the potatoes after the baking time—if they aren’t tender, bake for an extra 10-15 minutes.
- Let It Rest: Let the dish rest for a few minutes after baking. This helps the cream settle and the flavors develop.
How To Store & Reheat Leftovers?
- Refrigerate: Allow leftovers to cool to room temperature and store in an airtight container in the fridge for 3-4 days.
- Freeze: After cooling, freeze in a freezer-safe container for up to 2 months.
- Reheat: Heat in a pan with a bit of cream or water, stirring occasionally, until warm.
