Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and prepare your baking dish by greasing it.
  2. Peel and slice sweet potatoes into ¼-inch thick rounds. Boil them in water for 10-15 minutes until fork-tender, then drain.
  3. Layer half of the cooked sweet potatoes in the greased baking dish, slightly overlapping them.
  4. Evenly sprinkle half of the fresh cranberries over the sweet potatoes.
  5. In a bowl, whisk together heavy cream, brown sugar, cinnamon, salt, and pepper. Pour half over the layered sweet potatoes and cranberries.
  6. Repeat with the remaining sweet potatoes and cranberries, then pour the remaining cream sauce over the layers.
  7. Top with shredded Gruyère cheese and breadcrumbs.
  8. Bake for 30-35 minutes until the top is bubbly and golden brown, then allow to cool briefly before serving.
