Introduction

Lemony coriander and smoky cumin pair perfectly with sharp Cheddar in this grown-up spin on scalloped potatoes. Lemony coriander and smoky cumin pair perfectly with sharp Cheddar in this grown-up spin on scalloped potatoes.

Minutes to Prepare: 10

Minutes to Cook: 30

Number of Servings: 6

Ingredients

3 large sweet potatoes (5" long), peeled if not organic

1 large white onion

3 cloves garlic

1 teaspoon ground coriander

1 tablespoon ground cumin

1/2 teaspoon black pepper

3/4 cup (6 ounces) skim milk

1/2 cup grated sharp Cheddar

1 teaspoon hot sauce (or to taste)

Tips

This dish pairs well with Mexican food and grilled meats.
I love the mix of lemony and fresh coriander and smoky cumin. I add a layer of extra sharp cheddar cheese to the top of the dish, which gives it a rich and decadent finish.
Swap the coriander and cumin for rosemary and thyme in winter.

You could also grate the sweet potatoes, if you prefer.

Directions

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit.
Slice the sweet potatoes and onions as thinly as possible. Chop the garlic. (Tip: I put them all through the food processor using the slicing blade.)
Spray a 9"x13" casserole dish with nonstick cooking spray. Layer on half of the sweet potatoes, then sprinkle on a third of the spices. Layer on the onions and garlic, followed by a third of the spices. Finally, layer on the rest of the sweet potatoes and the remaining spices. Pour on the milk, sprinkle on the hot sauce and top the casserole with the cheese.
Bake, covered, for 20 minutes, then remove the lid for another10 minutes. The vegetables should be tender, and the cheese should be starting to brown.
Make six 1-cup servings.

USE CHILI POWDER INSTEAD OF CORIANDER
LAYER THE CHEESE THROUGH IT,INSTEAD OF JUST ON TOP
40 MIN AND 20 MIN AS RECOMMENDED BY MEMBERS - 9/5/11

This was very good & easy. I also didn't have any coriander--so used chili powder instead/tasted great. I ended up doubling the cooking time. Also, next time I will layer the cheese in between layers, instead of just on top--(not enough cheesy flavor throughtout) - 1/28/11

I would add more spices the next time I make it. It took about double the time to cook it. But...it was yummy! - 9/21/10

We really liked this recipe; it was very flavorful! Since I didn't have coriander, I added a little bit of chili powder with the cumin and black pepper. It was fantastic! - 9/28/10

To make a smaller amount, I used 1 large sweet potato, sliced onions, 4 oz. milk, cumin, and chili powder, with onions and 1 oz. Tillamook cheddar on top (in a glass pie pan). I cooked it in the microwave first, then oven 20 min. 400 deg. The onions and cheese were crispy and yummy on top. - 12/30/12

The cooking time for this recipe is way off. You'll need at least another 20 minutes to get the potatoes right. - 11/30/11

Will canned sweet potatoes work as well for this? - 9/15/10

Reply from STEPFANIER (9/15/10)
No, they need to be raw. If the sweet potatoes are canned, they'll already be too soft.

As many said, this recipe takes WAY longer than the directions, nearly double. While the spice mixture is tasty, the potatoes are watery and while I realize the intent is to cut down on calories, it lacks any level of creaminess you would hope for in this kind of dish. We didn't bother saving. - 9/4/12

LOVE it! Came out great, and I didn't even use all the ingredients (no coriander or hot sauce on hand, and used garlic powder instead of fresh). Did bake for 40 mins (not 20) and added cheese on each layer (not just top). Best recipe for sweet potatoes I've ever tried and will definitely make again! - 8/14/12

I've been looking for a different way to make sweet potatoes. I made this for our Easter dinner and everyone loved it. These are all flavors I like, but wouldn't have thought of combining. I think I'll start adding garlic to my regular scalloped potatoes! - 4/21/11

Yummo!! I added some red bell pepper too, though, and added thehot sauce after, since I had a brain freeze and forgot to stick it in whilst putting it together! I even made extra for a friend who doessome cleaning for us. This is definitely a keeper - 9/17/10

I will definitely try this again. It does take longer to cook. I wonder if you parboil the potatoes for about 3 minutes if it would help. - 1/25/11

I won't be making this again. They tasted really good (I used herbes de provence, thyme and garlic seasoning) but the baking time was much longer and the top layer was all dried out and the milk just ended up being a puddle at the bottom of the pan. Baking longer may help but it would be even drier. - 8/8/11

Mix together in bowl place on cookies sheet place in a350 oven for 30 min. I like to drizzle a little honey right out of the oven and mmmm mmmm good! - 12/30/12

If you add more cheese, you are increasing the calories and sodium content. You have to change the recipes that are high calories or eat a much smaller portion. By using more or different spices in recipes helps to increase the flavor of lower fat and calorie recipes. - 10/2/13

When I make a potato casserole, I microwave the potato dish until almost done ~ then finish it off in the oven. Works great! - 12/25/12

I was so excited to try this and followed the recipe exactly (with increased baking time), but the combination of onions, garlic, spices, and sweet potatoes was inedible. Maybe I'll try making a sweet version in the fall, but for now this was a waste of 3 sweet potatoes. - 7/15/12

Tried this with chili powder instead of coriander (as I didn't' have ground coriander),and used fat free cheese. Fat Free cheese was a big mistake...doesn't melt well with the milk. Not rating it because I made ingredient substitutions that didn't work out. - 1/1/12

I was very eager to try this recipie. It was awesome! My company and the kids thought it was a little on the hot side though. Next time I add the hot sauce, I will make sure it has a plastic stopper in it, by accident I added a huge GLUG of hot sauce. I enjoyed it and will make it again and again - 9/29/11

I think cooking time all depends on how thick you cut the potatoes. The thinner you slice them the less time it takes. This recipe was great. I subbed rice milk & vegan cheddar & it still tasted great. Thanks for sharing - 10/28/18
