Steps:
- Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Cut Yukon Gold and sweet potatoes into 1/8-inch-thick slices with a handheld slicer or sharp knife, keeping potato varieties separate.
- Brush an ovenproof 9- or 10-inch nonstick skillet with some butter. Starting in center of pan, arrange about 20 Yukon Gold slices, slightly overlapping, in a circular pattern, covering surface. Brush with butter and generously season with salt and pepper. Make next layer with sweet-potato slices; brush with butter and season. Repeat, alternating colors. Drizzle remaining butter on top of potatoes.
- Cook potatoes over medium-high heat until butter vigorously bubbles in pan, about 4 minutes. Transfer to oven and bake 30 minutes. Tent loosely with foil and continue to bake until potatoes are easily pierced with a knife, about 20 minutes more. Remove from oven, and run a heatproof flexible spatula around edges of potatoes to loosen. Let cool; carefully invert onto a plate, cut into wedges, and serve.
YUKON GOLD ROASTED POTATOES WITH BACON, ONION AND GARLIC
You can use any kind of potatoes for this but Yukon Gold are simply the best! All ingredients can be adjusted to taste. If you do not like your garlic crispy then just add in two or three whole bulbs garlic (outer layer of skin removed) sprinkle with oil and place in the roasting pan with the potatoes and separate the cloves after roasting. If desired, roast 1-2 pounds fresh mushrooms in the oven with a bit of butter or oil until they are soft and release their juices, remove to a bowl and continue with the recipe, add in the mushrooms to the roasting pan just before serving, I have done this many times if I have fresh mushrooms handy.
