Crispy on the outside and savory soft on the inside. My version of a French favorite. Deliciously buttery stacks of herbed sweet potato.  I’m in love!

OK, so here I go again with the French cooking.  Last week I stopped by with my gluten free Apple Galette recipe. I have seriously made it 5 times now.  No lie!  This week, I’m back with another fun little recipe:  Mini Sweet Potato Pomme Anna.

Pomme Anna literally means Anna Potatoes and is a classic French dish of sliced, layered potatoes cooked in a very large amount of melted butter. Since I’m obsessed with sweet potatoes this time of year, I decided to change the recipe a bit.  I hope the French don’t mind too much!

Instead of making one big dish of sweet potato Pomme Anna, I decided that it would be WAY more fun to make them into small little stacks. I thought it would be an impressive and festive way to serve sweet potatoes at a holiday dinner. Don’t you agree?

The recipe is super simple. Sweet potatoes, salt. pepper, garlic, herbs, and lots and lots of butter.  Since I’m a big fan of ghee in the kitchen, that’s what I used instead.  Plus using ghee keeps this recipe Whole30 compliant. You can use either. I used a 12 cup muffin tin to create the cute little stacks.  Worked like a charm. After baking them for a while, I removed them from the muffin tins and crisped them up in the oven. Like I said, I’m in love! 

Cooking Tips:

• Find narrow sweet potatoes so your rounds are smaller.  This will make for more attractive stacks.
• You want your sweet potato slices to be as thin as possible.  I use THIS mandoline slicer and it works perfectly.  You can also use a vegetable peeler to create thin slices.
• This recipe traditionally calls for A LOT of butter.  I make my stacks using the full 1/2 cup (8 tablespoons), but this recipe works with 6 tablespoons of butter as well.  You decide how buttery you want to go!
• Use FRESH thyme for this recipe.  This will make all the difference. You can also use rosemary or sage if that is more your thing.

I highly recommend that you give these little mini sweet potato Pomme Anna a try.  Your dinner guests will be beyond impressed with your cooking skills. My family was thrilled with them.  I have to admit that Little One ate hers with ketchup. Again, I hope the French don’t mind too much.

Happy Fall Equinox!
