- Ingredients are 6 yams, 1 head of good garlic, a healthy chunk of smoked gouda cheese and a swiss like jarlsberg or gruyere, 1 pint of heavy whipping cream.
- Process: 1) start with prep work by mincing a few cloves of garlic, grating your cheeses and peeling your yams. 2) smear butter on a glass casserole dish to coat all parts of the glass. Then sprinkle the minced garlic on the bottem of the dish. 3) Using a mandolin or food processor, slice the yams at the cross section into silver dollar shape. They should also be about the same thickness as a silver dollar. 4) Then place the yams in vertical rows along the length of the pan. Just like solitare. 5) Once you've placed one row down pour a bit of cream and sprinkle both of the cheeses on top of the yams. 6) Repeat step 4 and 5 until you have about 4-5 layers thick. You should have gone through the pint of cream on the last layer. The last layer should also have cheese on top so it melts while it cooks. 7) Finish with salt and a nice course ground pepper. Throw it in the oven for 50 minute uncovered at 375 degrees. After 50 minutes, poke it with a knive all the way to the bottle and feel how soft it feels. Cover it with aluminum foil and cook it for another 10 minutes or so until it feel soft all the way through when you poke her again! 8) Cut and serve...
My notes: It's pretty oily on top when it's done cooking, so you can soak up a little with paper towels if you like. I made this for the family Christmas dinner and it was a HUGE HIT. Very rich. Wonderful.
