Step‑by‑Step Instructions for Sweet Potato & Cranberry Gratin
  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) to ensure even cooking for your Sweet Potato & Cranberry Gratin.
  2. Peel and slice your sweet potatoes into even rounds, about 1/4 inch thick, and boil in salted water for 10-15 minutes until tender.
  3. Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish and layer half of the cooked sweet potato slices at the bottom, followed by half of the fresh cranberries.
  4. In a mixing bowl, combine heavy cream, brown sugar, cinnamon, salt, and pepper. Whisk until smooth and pour half over the layers.
  5. Add another layer of sweet potato slices followed by the rest of the cranberries and pour the remaining creamy mixture on top.
  6. Sprinkle the shredded Gruyère cheese and breadcrumbs evenly over the top of the gratin.
  7. Bake for 30-35 minutes until golden brown and bubbly.
