Preparation Steps

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.
In a small saucepan, whisk together cornstarch and heavy cream over medium-low heat for about 5 minutes.
Slice sweet potatoes into uniform 1/8-inch thick rounds and arrange in a shingled pattern in the baking dish.
Pour the hot cream mixture over the sweet potatoes, ensuring each slice is well-coated.
Bake uncovered for 30 minutes until sweet potatoes are tender and sauce is bubbling.
Sprinkle grated Parmesan cheese on top and bake for an additional 10 minutes.
Optional: Broil for 1-2 minutes for an extra crispy top.
Let the dish rest for about 10 minutes before serving.
