- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- cooking spray
- 2 12 lbs sweet potatoes (about 4 medium)
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon pure chile powder
- 18 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 -2 teaspoon minced chipotle chile (optional)
- 2 cups half-and-half (or use whole milk, or soy milk)
- 1 -2 teaspoon sugar (optional)
- 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
- lemon wedge
- spicy tomato jam (optional)
Method
- Preheat oven to 425*F.
- Coat the bottom of a 1 1/2-2 quart baking pan or gratin dish with olive oil.
- Spray a large sheet of foil on one side with cooking spray.
- Peel the sweet potatoes and slice them paper thin(a food processor with a thin slicing attachment or a mandoline works great).Spread the sweet potato slices in the pan.
- Combine the salt, seasonings, garlic, and chiles in a 4 cup liquid measuring cup.
- Pour in the half and half(or milk) and stir until blended, and slowly pour the seasoned milk over the sweet potato slices in the pan.
- Cover the pan tightly with the prepared piece of foil(sprayed side down)., and bake it in the center of the preheated oven for about 40 minutes.
- Pull out the oven rack, remove the foil, and use a long handled spoon to carefully "stir"( lifting and arranging) the potatoes a few times to redistribute the seasonings.
- Return pan to the oven and bake uncovered for 20 minutes more, or until the potatoes look slightly shriveled and golden on top.
- If you would like a sweet touch, sprinkle the top with the optonal sugar during the last 10 minutes or so of baking.
- Remove from the oven, drizzle with the lemon juice, and cool for about 15 minutes before serving.
- Any extra liquid will get absorbed during this waiting period.
- Serve warm and tuck a lemon wedge onto the side and a dab of tomato jam if desired.
- Enjoy!
