Directions:
1Preheat your oven to 150°C (fan–forced).
2Add the margarine, garlic, shallots, thyme and bay leaves to a pot over medium heat. Heat for 5 minutes or until the onion and garlic have softened and become translucent. Stir occasionally.
3Add the cream and bring to a simmer. Turn off the heat. Remove the bay leaves and thyme. Add nutmeg and blitz until smooth.
4Rub the bottom of your ovenproof dish with a thin layer of margarine or oil.
5Cover the base of the tray with a layer of sweet potato, potato, thyme leaves and a pinch of salt. Repeat until everything has run out, or you have run out of space. Make sure you leave a couple of cm gap from the top of the baking dish for bubble room. Drizzle with olive oil and cover with foil.
6Place in the oven and cook for 90 mins. Allow to cool for 25–30 mins before serving.
