Instructions
Preheat the oven.
- Preheat the oven to 375°F.
Prepare the baking dish.

Prepare the cream mixture.
- In a small saucepan, whisk the cornstarch into the heavy cream until smooth.
Add the aromatics.
- Place the saucepan over medium-low heat. Add the butter, minced garlic, fresh thyme, kosher salt, and freshly ground black pepper.
Heat the cream mixture.
- Cook for 3 to 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the butter is melted and the cream is hot. Do not allow the mixture to boil.
Remove from heat.
- Remove the saucepan from the heat and set the cream mixture aside.
Arrange the sweet potatoes.
- Place the peeled and thinly sliced sweet potatoes evenly in the prepared baking dish.
Add the cream sauce.
- Pour the warm garlic cream mixture over the sweet potato slices, distributing it as evenly as possible.
Bake the sweet potatoes.
- Transfer the baking dish to the preheated oven and bake for 30 minutes.
Add the Parmesan cheese.
- Remove the baking dish from the oven and sprinkle the freshly grated Parmesan cheese evenly over the top.
Finish baking.
- Return the dish to the oven and bake for approximately 10 minutes more, or until the Parmesan cheese is melted and the sweet potatoes are tender.
Rest before serving.
- Allow the dish to rest for several minutes before serving so the cream sauce can settle slightly.
Serve.
