Kale & Sweet Potato Gratin
- 5 tablespoons butter
- 3 garlic cloves, minced
- kosher salt
- fresh ground black pepper, to taste
- 1 bunch kale, stemmed and roughly chopped
- 2 1/2 lbs sweet potatoes, peeled and sliced about 1/8-inch thick
- 2 cups half-and-half
- 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1 cup white cheddar cheese or 1 cup sharp cheddar cheese, grated
- Preheat the over to 400u0b0F Rub the inside of a 8"x8" baking dish with 1 tablespoon of the butter.
- Combine garlic, kale, potatoes, half-and-half, cinnamon, nutmeg and remaining 4 tablespoons butter in a pot; stir. Season with salt and pepper and taste the creamy liquid-it should be seasoned generously. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat while stirring the mixture. After 8-10 minutes the potatoes will be a little tender, and their starch will have thickened the liquid considerably.
- Transfer the mixture to the prepared dish; smooth the top as much as possible. Cover the gratin with cheddar and bake until deeply golden brown, about 20-30 minutes. Let gratin cool and set a little before serving.
