Tom Kha Inspired Scalloped Sweet Potatoes
Hi Chefs, Myka here 👋
Sure, sweet potatoes might be a dinner go-to. And while you can go the standard route of bake, slice, or mash, we have another option for you: these Tom Kha Inspired Scalloped Sweet Potatoes. For this dish, you’ll grab some of your favorite Thai-inspired ingredients, like lime juice, fish sauce, red curry paste, and coconut milk. After dicing and mincing your aromatics and other ingredients, you’ll combine with coconut milk and heavy cream, before setting aside.
Then, you’ll thinly slice your sweet potatoes, using a mandoline or slicer, and will add them (upright) to a baking dish. After that, you’ll ladle your Tom Kha mixture over the potatoes, before covering and baking in the oven. Garnish with fresh cilantro, and you have a uniquely flavorful sweet potato dish that you’ll want to make again and again.
Happy cooking!
