Recipe Tips

To make slicing the sweet potatoes easier, you can use a mandoline slicer. If you don't have a mandoline slicer, you can use a sharp knife and try to slice the sweet potatoes as evenly as possible. You can also make this recipe ahead of time and reheat it in the oven before serving. Simply cover the gratin with foil and store it in the refrigerator until ready to heat.
