Sage Scalloped Sweet Potatoes

Sage scalloped sweet potatoes are perfect for the holidays but simple enough to make any time. Thinly sliced sweet potatoes are baked with garlic, sage, and cream making for a show-stopping side dish.

This has been the only sweet potato recipe (other than a simple baked one) that I’ve made over the last two years. I made it for Christmas last year, I made it for Friendsgiving two years in a row, and I’ve been requested to make it for Thanksgiving this year too.

I have a healthy sage plant (that’s still alive!) in the backyard so it’s an easy recipe to whip up whenever I have sweet potatoes in the house.

For this recipe, a mandoline is your new best friend. I use this mandoline often and it’s such a great time saver for getting lots of thin slices that are exactly the same thickness.
