Butter a medium-sized gratin dish (approx. 20\u00d725 cm).<br>Peel the sweet potatoes and cut them into very thin, even slices (approx. 2-3 mm thick). You can use a mandoline for this, but a sharp knife will do.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Prepare the Creamy Sauce (5 minutes)<br>In a medium bowl, mix together the cream, milk, maple syrup (or brown sugar), salt, pepper and nutmeg.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Layer and Bake (1 hour)<br><br>Place a thin layer of sweet potato slices in the bottom of the buttered dish, slightly overlapping each other.<br>Scatter some blueberries evenly over the sweet potato layer.<br>Repeat the layering (potatoes, then blueberries) until all the potatoes are used up. Finish with potatoes.<br>Pour the cream mixture into the pan, covering the potatoes (but not overflowing).<br>To bake: Cover the pan with foil and bake for 30-40 minutes.<br>To toast: Remove the foil. Sprinkle the top with the grated cheese (if using) and bake for another 15-20 minutes, until the top is golden brown, bubbly, and the sweet potatoes are completely tender.<br>Let the gratin sit for 10 minutes before serving to allow the sauce to thicken a bit.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Want another recipe that uses apples and pecans instead of blueberries with the sweet potatoes?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This is a fantastic and elegant side dish!
