- 1 cup cream or 1 cup half-and-half
- salt and pepper
- 1⁄4 cup pancetta, cubed

- sharp cheddar cheese, grated
directions
- Grease 8 x 8 pan and preheat oven to 350 degrees.
- Slice sweet potato into thin rounds, about 1/8 inch thick. Not paper thin, but evenly sliced. I use a mandoline.
- Heat cream and butter in a saucepan until simmering. Add sweet potatoes, salt and pepper. Cook until just tender or until most of the liquid evaporates, about 10 minutes.
- Cook pancetta in small, nonstick pan, until crispy. Remove, place on paper towel and caramelize onions in pancetta fat on low heat, around 10 minutes.
- Layer sweet potatoes on bottom of baking dish, add pancetta and onions on top (or carefully stir them all together). Sprinkle top liberally with cheddar cheese.
- Bake for 15 - 20 minutes uncovered until cheese bubbles.
