Ingredients
2 med Sweet potatoes, skin on, thinly sliced
2 C Milk
1/2 C caramelized Onion
Salt and freshly ground Black pepper
Instructions
To Caramelize Onions: Peel 2 medium yellow onions, cut off the ends and cut in half (top to bottom). Slice thinly and separate the thin strips formed by cutting. Heat a non-stick skillet and add 2 Tbs olive oil. When skillet is very hot but not smoking, add onions and turn heat down to medium or medium low. Stir to coat all onion strips, and continue to cook for 20-30 minutes stirring frequently to avoid burning. When caramelized, the onions should be a golden brown color when they are done.
Add all the ingredients except sweet potatoes to a blender or food processor and puree the mixture. Place the sweet potato slices in a single layer on the bottom of a greased 9X9 casserole. Add a layer of puree then another single layer of sweet potato slices. Continue alternating layers until both are used up (should be 4 or 5 layers). Cover and bake in a preheated 375°F oven for 30 minutes. Remove the cover and bake for another 30-45 minutes (until liquid is absorbed). Serve immediately.
