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.
