DIRECTIONS
Heat the oven to 350

Once melted coat all sides of the dish leaving the rest at the bottom of the pan for the potatoes to rest in
Peels the Potatoes and cut into desired thickness
Rinse and pat dry
(I like to cut them nice and thick as they shrink)
Place the cut Potatoes into the baking dish to for the first layer
Set Aside
In a sturdy sauce pan, melt 1 stick of butter
Once melted add the White Sugar and stir
Add the Brown Sugar and stir
Continue to stir for at least 2-4 minutes
Mixture will be thick
Incorporate the Vanilla
Add all the spices
Slowly incorporate Heavy Whipping Cream
(You may add more or less depending on your desired consistency)
Once you reach your desired consistency continue to stir for 4-5 minutes
Pour liquid slowly on the first layer of sweet potatoes
Add the next layer
Pour over the last layer until barely covered.
Cover with Foil and vent
Cook at 350 for 35 minutes
Uncover and bake another 25-35 Minutes (Depending on the thickness of the potato)
Let Rest for 15-30 (This will prevent them from breaking) and Serve
Enjoy!
