Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with butter.
  2. Slice the sweet potatoes into thin, even rounds, about 1/8 inch thick.
  3. In a medium saucepan, melt 4 tablespoons of unsalted butter, then add 2 cloves of minced garlic and 1 diced shallot, sautéing for 2-3 minutes.
  4. Stir in 1 teaspoon of fresh thyme, 1 teaspoon of kosher salt, and 1/2 teaspoon of freshly cracked black pepper into the mixture, then remove from heat and stir in 1 cup of heavy cream and 1 cup of shredded parmesan cheese.
  5. Pour the creamy sauce over the sliced sweet potatoes and gently toss to coat.
  6. Layer the coated sweet potatoes in the greased baking dish and pour any remaining sauce over the top.
  7. Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until the sweet potatoes are fork-tender and the top is golden brown.
  8. Let the scalloped sweet potatoes sit for a few moments, then garnish with extra fresh thyme before serving.
