Sweet Potato Gratin

Here’s a twist on an old stand-by. Try serving it around the holidays as well.

     Two 29-ounce cans sweet potatoes or yams
     One 12-ounce can evaporated milk
          (nonfat is okay)
     1 tablespoon butter
     1/4 teaspoon salt

1/8 teaspoon black pepper
2 tablespoons cornstarch, dissolved in
     a little cold water
3/4 cup real Parmesan cheese, shredded

Preheat oven to 350°F. Lightly coat an 8x8-inch baking dish with oil or nonstick spray. Rinse and drain the sweet potatoes and spread them in the baking dish.

In a medium saucepan, mix evaporated milk with salt and pepper and bring to a boil, stirring frequently as milk heats. Add cornstarch and stir a couple minutes more until thickened into a sauce. Pour sauce over sweet potatoes to cover. Sprinkle Parmesan cheese over all and bake 15 minutes.

Serves 6-8
