Tips & Notes:
- For the vegetarian version, you can use oat, almond, or soy milk.
- You can use any type of cheese you prefer or even mixed cheese.
- When you rinse off the water, less starch is absorbed. This way you can reduce calories.
- This way, the sweetness and flavor of the sweet potatoes will come out better and they'll have a nutty and buttery flavor. You don't have to cook them through. They just need to caramelize and get a golden brown surface.
