This yummy sweet potato bake with maple and bacon is set to become a family favourite side! Easy to make and positively delicious and super kid friendly.
Combine the bacon, maple syrup, olive oil and oregano in a bowl.
Using your hands, mix the potato slices through it, ensuring they are all coated.
In your baking dish, start stacking the potato slices ensuring they have bits of the bacon mixture between them.
Stack them tightly, because otherwise, they will shrink when cooked and there will be gaps. Sprinkle any remaining mix on top.
Cover the dish with foil and bake for 40 minutes at 200 degrees.
Remove the foil and add the cream. Pouring evenly over the top. Bake for 25 more minutes uncovered. Test the potatoes with a fork, they should be cooked through, but if they were thicker than 3mm they may not be, so cook for 5-10 minutes more, checking again with a fork.
Clean up the dish (it will bubble up at the sides) and serve!
Notes
I slice my sweet potatoes to 3mm with either a veggie slicer, my food processor or a sharp knife. If they end up thicker than 3mm slices they will need to cook longer.
