Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a 9x13 inch baking dish.
  2. Peel and slice the sweet potatoes into thin rounds (about ⅛ inch thick) and layer them in the baking dish.
  3. In a medium saucepan, melt 4 tablespoons of butter; whisk in ½ cup brown sugar, 1 cup heavy cream, 1 teaspoon cinnamon, ⅛ teaspoon nutmeg, and 1 teaspoon salt until smooth.
  4. Pour the brown sugar sauce evenly over the layered sweet potatoes, ensuring all slices are coated.
  5. Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake for 35 minutes.
  6. Remove the foil and bake uncovered for an additional 20–25 minutes until the top is golden brown and potatoes are fork-tender.
  7. Optional: Sprinkle mini marshmallows on top during the last 5 minutes of baking.
  8. Let cool for a few minutes before serving. Garnish with cinnamon or fresh herbs if desired.
