Goat Cheese Sweet Potato Gratin features tender layers of sweet-salty and tangy flavors wrapped around a blend of thinly sliced potatoes and sweet potatoes. Add creamy goat cheese and bake this gratin until golden brown to make your new favorite holiday side dish.
Not your ordinary sweet potato gratin, this recipe calls for goat cheese and fresh thyme, playing up the savory flavors of fall and winter. While maple cinnamon mashed sweet potatoes always have a spot on my menu, I like leaning into the pungent tanginess of goat cheese in this gratin. It’s elegant and just different enough to feel truly special.
Easy to make and always sure to impress, this gratin makes a wonderful holiday side, or you can serve it anytime. It’s a nice vegetarian offering at Thanksgiving or Christmas and it also happens to be naturally gluten free, making it ideal for everyone gathered around the table. Some high points include:
Layers of texture and flavor. Goat cheese adds beautiful richness while using a mix of sweet and regular potatoes keeps this grain from being overly sweet.
Easy to adapt. You can use this method to make a potato gratin, add other vegetables to the mix, such as baby spinach, or try different cheeses.
