Chipotle Scalloped Sweet Potatoes

I used to have a small in-home catering company and often partnered with a sommelier and do wine tastings. This was a dish I created for one of the various wine tastings we held, and it was a huge success. I had many people ask for the recipes, and we began serving this at our family holiday meals after. It’s a fun way to make scalloped potatoes that bring a little heat and a different flavor profile.

This can be made with either heavy cream or full-fat coconut milk if you are dairy free. Depending on how spicy you like, add 1 tablespoon of minced chipotle for mild to medium and 2 tablespoons if you want it hot.
