Sweet Potato and Yukon Gold Bake

• servings: 8 servings
• active time: 15 minutes
• total time: 1 hour 40 minutes

Ingredients

2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil

4 cups sliced onions (1/8 to 1/4-inch slices)

1 teaspoon fresh thyme, minced

1/2 teaspoon salt

2 pounds of sweet potatoes, mixed in color if available, peeled and sliced into 1/8-inch thick rounds

2 pounds Yukon Gold potatoes, peeled, and sliced into 1/8-inch thick rounds

2 tablespoons melted butter

1 teaspoon of kosher salt

1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

Sprigs of fresh thyme

Directions

Caramelize the onions: Heat olive oil in a large, thick-bottomed pot on medium heat. Add the sliced onions, toss to coat, lower the heat to medium low and cover. Let cook for 15 to 20 stirring occasionally, until completely softened. Then increase the heat to medium high and cook uncovered until golden brown. Remove from heat and stir in salt and thyme.

Preheat the oven to 400°F.

Peel and slice the sweet potatoes and Yukon golds: Try to make them uniform in size. Place the slices in a bowl of water while you are prepping them to prevent them for discoloring. If using purple sweet potatoes, keep the slices in a different bowl of water (the color bleeds). Drain the slices, place them in a bowl.

Line the baking dish with onions, sweet potato and potato slices: Place the caramelized onions in an even layer over the bottom of a 9 x 12-inch rectangular or oval casserole dish. Arrange slices of sweet potatoes and Yukon Gold potatoes in rows on top of the caramelized onions. Brush with melted butter, sprinkle with salt and pepper.

Cover with foil and bake: Bake for 45 minutes, until the potatoes are cooked through.

Remove the foil, continue to bake: Bake an additional 15 minutes until the edges are crispy and browned. Sprinkle with a little more salt and pepper. Garnish with sprigs of fresh thyme. Serve immediately. Did you love the recipe? Give us some stars and leave a comment below!
