Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 6

2 lbs. sweet potatoes, peeled, washed and sliced ¼" thick
2 c. heavy cream
2 - 3 Chipotle chilis in adobo sauce
1 t. salt
1 t. black pepper
2 c. grated Swiss Gruyere cheese

Steps:

Combine in the work bowl of a food processor the chilis and half of the heavy cream. Process until the chilis are blended well with the cream. You can add some of the adobo sauce for more flavor. In a large heavy-bottomed saucepan put the sweet potato slices, cream, cream and chili mixture and seasoning. Bring the mixture to a boil slowly on medium to high heat, stirring constantly. Once the potatoes begin to boil, turn them off and ladle them into a 9" X 13" glass baking dish and pour over the remaining liquid from the pan. Top with the Gruyere and bake at 375 degrees for 25-30 minutes or until the sweet potatoes are tender and the cheese is golden. Serve hot.
