Potatoes are the king of comfort food, and this scalloped sweet potatoes recipe is no different! Scalloped potatoes is a dish that has been around for generations. The word “scalloped” is derived from an Old English term, “collop,” and an old French term, “escalope,” which refers to sliced meat. This recipe calls for potatoes to be sliced in a similar fashion, which is why this casserole is dubbed “scalloped potatoes.” Though traditional casseroles call for white-fleshed potatoes, this recipe uses sweet potatoes (or garnet yams, but any potato is fine!) which make for a healthy and delicious swap. This dish continues to impress, as it is one of the most searched-for recipes each year! Try it out for your next pot-luck or social gathering.
