Mini Sweet Potato Gratins take all of your favorite parts of sweet potato casserole and transform them into an adorable, miniature version of a classic.
I know today is Halloween, but I’ve got Thanksgiving on my mind.
Stuffing and Turkey. Pumpkin and pecan Pie.
Savory nibbles and dips.
Mashed potatoes and gravy.
And these mini sweet potato gratins. Adorable, no?
Sweet Potato Gratins have all of the flavors of a sweet potato souffle — brown sugar, nuts and butter — with the structure of a gratin. A muffin tin aids in keeping each thinly sliced layer of sweet potato standing tall, and serves as the base of the sweet and crunchy topping of caramel sauce and chopped hazelnuts. Each layer is drizzled with a touch of olive oil, sprinkled with salt and pepper and then drowned in a cinnamon laced milk mixture. Once they’re done baking, the whole pan is inverted and each gratin slips out, leaving a sticky trail of gooey caramel sauce dripping down each layer of sweet potato.

These are awesome, Nicole!! I’ve been looking forward to Thanksgiving since New Years! I’d much rather eat these than Halloween candy! I think I could eat the whole tray of these 🙂
Nicole says
Ditto on that! I’m way more into savory than sweet, except for when all the leftover Halloween candy is staring at me in the face, then it’s a little hard to resist. 🙂
