How to Make Gourmet Sweet Potato Gratin With Chiles And Cream Casserole

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
Generously butter a shallow 4-quart casserole dish and set aside.
In a blender or food processor, combine 1 cup of roasted chiles (canned or homemade) and 2 cups heavy cream. Blend until completely smooth.
Peel and thinly slice 3 pounds of sweet potatoes.
Arrange a layer of sweet potato slices in the prepared casserole dish.
Pour a portion of the chile cream mixture over the sweet potatoes, season with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste.
Repeat layers of sweet potatoes and chile cream, ending with a layer of cream.
Bake for 60-75 minutes, or until the sweet potatoes are tender and the top is lightly browned and bubbling. If the top browns too quickly, tent loosely with foil.
Let stand for 10 minutes before serving hot or at room temperature.
