Recipe information

  • Yield

    Makes 12 servings

Ingredients

1 tablespoon unsalted butter, at room temperature
2 large sweet potatoes, peeled and thinly sliced (use a sharp knife, a mandoline, or a food processor with the slicing disc attached)
1/2 large Idaho potato, peeled and thinly sliced
1 cup heavy cream
1 pinch ground nutmeg
1 pinch freshly ground black pepper
Kosher salt to taste
3 ounces Gruyère, grated (about 1 cup)

Preparation

  1. Step 1

    1. Preheat oven to 400°F. With the butter, grease a 12-capacity muffin pan.

    Step 2

    2. In a large bowl, toss together the sweet potatoes, Idaho potato, cream, nutmeg, pepper, and salt.

    Step 3

    3. Layer the potato slices in each muffin cup until 3/4 full, then top off the muffin cups with any remaining cream. Sprinkle each gratin with some of the cheese. Cover the pan loosely with tinfoil and bake for 20 minutes.

    Step 4

    4. Remove the tinfoil and continue to bake until the potatoes are fork-tender and the cheese is golden brown, 10 to 15 minutes more. Remove and let cool for 5 minutes before serving.

Creamy Fondue Beans
All the cozy vibes of the classic gooey-cheesy dish, made into a 20-minute meal.
Feta and Sun-Dried Tomato Dip
Creamy and bright with just a subtle bit of heat, this five-ingredient, make-ahead dip is ready for company—just add crudités.
Smothered Italian Sausage
This is what I call a fridge-eater recipe. The key here is getting a nice sear on the sausage and cooking the tomato down until it coats the sausage and vegetables well.
Garlic Mashed Potatoes
A good garlic mashed potato recipe can upstage even the flashiest of mains. Adding just a few cloves of garlic turns what could be a simple side dish into something with undeniable charm.
Ensalada Rusa (Pink Potato Salad)
This Caribbean classic, made with beets for a magenta hue, looks as striking as it tastes.
Crispy Baked Wings With Berbere Honey Glaze and Fried Garlic
Berbere is a spicy chile blend that has floral and sweet notes from coriander and cardamom, and when it’s paired with a honey glaze, it sets these wings apart from anything else you’ve ever had.
Pickle Coleslaw
Creamy, vinegary, and with lots of fresh dill.
Sofrito Bolognese
An ex-boyfriend’s mom—who emigrated from Colombia—made the best meat sauce—she would fry sofrito for the base and simply add cooked ground beef, sazón, and jarred tomato sauce. My version is a bit more bougie—it calls for caramelized tomato paste and white wine—but the result is just as good.
