SWEET & WHITE POTATO GRATIN
This is a variation on the fabulous recipe in Williams-Sonoma's Holiday Celebrations cookbook. I made it a bit simpler by substituting cheddar for the fontina (not a really close substitution, I know, but I'm so much more likely to have it on hand, and it still tastes great!), replacing the fresh thyme with dried, and adding a French-fried onion topping instead of breadcrumbs, which adds a lovely flavor. I prefer goat cheese to the feta myself, but feta works just fine if you can't find the goat cheese. By the way, as an Italian, I am pleading with you NOT to use the canned powder masquerading as Parmesan cheese! The bagged, pre-shredded cheese I'll allow, however! :)

Steps:
- If you have a gas burner, roast the poblano peppers over the open flame, turning occasionally with tongs, until the peppers are well charred all over, about 4 minutes. If you do not have a gas burner, halve the peppers lengthwise, place them in a baking pan and broil them in a preheated broiler, skin-side up, until well charred. Place the charred peppers in a bowl and cover with plastic wrap for 10 minutes. Peel, stem and deseed the peppers, then cut into strips.
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Butter a 9-by-13-inch baking dish.
- Stir together the cream, salt, lime zest, cumin and garlic in a bowl.
- Peel the sweet potatoes and russet potatoes and thinly slice them with a mandoline (about 1/4-inch thick).
- Arrange half of the russet potatoes in the buttered baking dish. Top with half of the sliced poblanos, then half of the sweet potatoes. Top with half of the cream mixture and 1/3 cup Cotija. Repeat with the remaining ingredients (potatoes, poblanos, sweet potatoes, cream and the remaining 2/3 cups Cotija) and press down firmly to submerge the potatoes as much as possible.
- Cover the baking dish tightly with foil and bake for 35 minutes. Uncover and continue to bake until the potatoes are tender, the liquid has absorbed, and the top is browned in spots, 25 to 30 minutes more.
- Let stand 10 minutes before serving.

Steps:
- 1. Preheat the oven to 375°F.
- 2. Whisk together the cream, cinnamon, cloves, and nutmeg until smooth.
- 3. In a 10-inch square baking dish, arrange an even layer of sweet potatoes. Drizzle with a few tablespoons of the cream mixture and season with salt and pepper. Repeat with the remaining potatoes and cream, seasoning with salt and pepper, to form 8 to 10 layers. Press down on the layers to totally submerge the sweet potatoes in the cream mixture.
- 4. Cover and bake for 30 minutes. Remove the cover and continue baking until the cream has been absorbed, the potatoes are cooked through, and the top is browned, 30 to 45 minutes. Remove from the oven and let rest for 15 minutes before serving.
Tips:
- Choose firm and unblemished sweet potatoes for baking. Avoid any with cuts or bruises.
- Peeling the sweet potatoes is optional. However, peeling them will result in a smoother gratin.
- If you are using a mandoline to slice the sweet potatoes, be sure to use the safety guard to protect your fingers.
- Use a grater with large holes to grate the Parmesan cheese. This will help the cheese melt evenly throughout the gratin.
- Be sure to season the sweet potatoes with salt and pepper before baking. This will help to enhance their flavor.
- To prevent the gratin from drying out, cover it with foil during the first 20 minutes of baking.
- Once the gratin is cooked, let it cool for a few minutes before serving. This will help it to set and make it easier to slice.
Conclusion:
Sweet white potato gratin is a delicious and versatile dish that can be served as a side or a main course. It is easy to make and can be customized to your liking. With its creamy texture and sweet flavor, this gratin is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
