Cooking the dish according to the recipe:


  1. Preheat oven to 190°C.
  2. Combine the cream, garlic, thyme, and cayenne pepper in a saucepan and season with salt. Taste. Bring to a boil, then turn off the heat. Let the cream steep for 15-20 minutes.

  3. Grease a baking dish with butter and line it with a third of the thin turnip slices. Sprinkle the turnips with a sixth of the grated cheese and arrange a sixth of the pieces of butter on top. Remove the thyme and garlic from the cream and pour a sixth of the cream over the turnips.
  4. Repeat the layers five more times, alternating turnips and sweet potatoes, until all ingredients are used, for a total of six layers.
  5. Cover the dish with foil, place it on a baking sheet, and bake for 35-40 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for another 20 minutes until golden brown. When the gratin is done, a fork should slide easily in and out of the center of the casserole.
  6. Let the gratin rest for 10-12 minutes and serve.
