Scalloped Sweet Potato Bake

I have seen recipes similar to his using regular potatoes and tons of yummy toppings, which of course look delicious, but I figured we could make a healthy and yummy alternative fairly easy!  I was VERY right this time!  This took 5 minutes of prep time and 35 minutes to bake...that's it!  My husband had received a Christmas Ham that needed to be baked and I had some lovely Brussels Sprouts on hand, so I thought this would be the perfect compliment!  A keeper for sure!
















What you need...
4 sweet potatoes
a few sprigs of fresh thyme
2 cloves garlic, minced
olive oil
salt
pepper
2 tablespoons gated parmesan cheese



Preheat oven to 425F.  Peel the potatoes and slice them into 1/2" medallions.  Using a well seasoned or oiled cast iron skillet, or a lightly greased stainless steel skillet, layer the potatoes into the pan in a fan shape.  Drizzle with olive oil, sprinkle with a little bit of salt (the parmesan will add saltiness) and pepper, minced garlic, the leaves of the thyme sprigs, 1 tablespoon of parmesan cheese.  Cover with foil and bake for 30 minutes.  Uncover, top with 1 tablespoon parmesan and bake uncovered for 5 minutes. Serve.

    1. Thanks! It looks like I forgot to include the garlic...you add it right along with everything else right on top of the potatoes before baking. It's fixed now!!!!
