Pommes Anna with Sweet Potatoes (paleo, too!)

April 30, 2015

This sweet potato dish is a great comfort food: a delicious baked pommes anna made with sweet potatoes. It's paleo, too! It's incredibly versatile in terms of the flavors it can host, spanning from a dessert-like side dish that could practically be served with ice cream to one with full-on savory seasonings. Though I've seasoned it with port-soaked plums, salt, and pepper in the photo, I also list several other approaches to seasoning in the recipe.

6 uniform medium sweet potatoes, peeled and sliced 1/8 inch thick (or as thinly as possible) by hand, food processor, or mandoline
4 Tbsp olive oil or melted coconut oil, and another 1T to brush the top of the paleo pommes anna with.
Seasonings of your choice, described below
10 prunes, heated in 1 cup port for about 20 minutes or until plump. Drain and chop them. If you prefer not to use port, you can use natural fruit juice or water.
3-4 tsp salt, or to taste
3-4 tsp freshly ground black pepper, or to taste
