Yukon Gold and Sweet Potato Gratin

As I mentioned in my Mother's Day post, I want to share the yummy recipe for the potatoes I made for lunch.

You need:

6 tablespoons of butter, divided

2 1/4 lbs yukon gold potatoes, rinsed

1 1/2 lbs red sweet potatoes, peeled

2 c. whole milk

1 garlic clove, minced

1 tbsp salt

2 tsp fresh thyme leaves

1 tsp ground black pepper

1/8 tsp ground nutmeg

1 c. whipping cream

Heat oven to 400 degrees.

Coat 9x13 inch baking dish with 2 tbsp butter.

Thinly slice all potatoes.

Place overlapping in prepared dish.

Bring milk and next 5 ingredients to boil in saucepan, then pour over potatoes.

Dot with 2 tbsp butter. 

Cover with foil.

Bake until potatoes are tender and milk is almost absorbed--about 50 minutes.

Uncover potatoes, pour cream over, and dot with remaining 2 tbsp of butter.

Bake uncovered until top is golden brown in spots, about 25 minutes.

Then YOU'RE DONE!
This dish takes a while with the prep and two different bake times, but its definitely worth it!
