    Need a change from sweet potato casserole? Try this spectacular dish. I experimented with different gratin recipes, then create my own. Yukon Gold, sweet potatoes, leeks, and herbs pair perfectly in this classic, French dish. Your guest will be saying WOW!

    Ingredients

    • 1-1/2 pounds Yukon Gold potatoes, cut into 1/4-inch
    • thick slices
    • 1-1/2 pounds sweet potatoes, cut into 1/4-inch
    • thick slices
    • 2 cups thinly sliced leeks, (about 2)
    • 4 cups whipping cream or heavy cream
    • 1-1/2 teaspoon salt
    • 3/4 teaspoon black pepper
    • 2 cloves garlic, minced
    • 2 thyme sprigs
    • 1 bay leaf
    • 1-1/2 cups shredded Gruyere cheese,(divided)

    Directions

    1. Preheat oven to 375
    2. Place first 9 ingredients in a Dutch oven or a large, heavy saucepan. Cook over medium-high heat until cream boils. Cover, reduce heat, and simmer 10 minutes, or until ppotatoes are tender. Discard thyme and bay leaf.
