Ingredients

• 2 large sweet potatoes
• 2 large russet potatoes
• 3 tablespoons butter
• 0.5 cup heavy cream
• 1 cup cheddar cheese, shredded
• 0.5 cup parmesan cheese, grated
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 teaspoon fresh rosemary, chopped
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 tablespoon olive oil

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with olive oil and set it aside.

Step 2

Peel and thinly slice both the sweet potatoes and russet potatoes into uniform 1/8-inch slices using a sharp knife or mandoline.

Step 3

In a saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter. Add the minced garlic and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.

Step 4

Stir in the heavy cream, rosemary, salt, and black pepper. Heat the mixture for 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally. Remove from heat and set aside.

Step 5

Arrange a single layer of sweet potato slices in the prepared baking dish, overlapping slightly. Follow with a layer of russet potato slices. Repeat layers until all slices are used, finishing with a layer of sweet potatoes.

Step 6

Pour the cream mixture evenly over the potato layers, ensuring it seeps through all the slices.

Step 7

Cover the dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes.

Step 8

Remove the foil and sprinkle the cheddar and parmesan cheeses over the top. Return the dish to the oven and bake uncovered for an additional 20 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender and the cheese is bubbly and golden brown.

Step 9

Let the Two Potato Bake rest for 5 minutes before serving. Garnish with extra rosemary if desired.
