Ingredients

4 large sweet potatoes, peeled and sliced
3 tablespoons unsalted butter
4 cloves garlic, minced
1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
2 cups heavy cream
¼ cup dry bread crumbs
¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese

Steps:

Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Butter a casserole dish and fill with even layers of sweet potatoes.
Melt butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Add garlic and flour and stir until color deepens a bit. Add cream and simmer until the mixture thickens slightly. Pour over sweet potatoes.
Bake in the preheated oven until potatoes are tender, about 1 hour. Remove from the oven, sprinkle with bread crumbs and Parmesan cheese, and continue to bake until golden brown and melted, 10 to 15 minutes more.
