Time 1h

Yield 4 - 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

1/2 stick butter (4 tablespoons), more for greasing pan
1 cup cream
2 tablespoons grated ginger
Zest from one orange
2 pounds sweet potatoes, peeled and grated, about 4 cups
1/2 cup chopped hazelnuts or walnuts (optional)
Salt and black pepper

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Grease a 6- to 8-cup gratin dish with butter. In a small pan, gently heat remaining butter with cream, ginger and orange zest, stirring once or twice, until butter has melted and mixture is just steaming. Remove from heat.
  • Spread potatoes and nuts evenly into baking dish and sprinkle with plenty of salt and pepper. Drizzle cream mixture over all and press down on potatoes with a fork to settle them into dish and at least partly submerge them. Bake until potatoes are tender and cream thickens, about 45 minutes. Serve hot or warm.
