What you need

Amount:6

3 medium potatoes, peeled and thinly sliced, ¼ inch (½ cm) thick
3 long sweet potatoes, peeled and sliced like the potatoes
3 cloves garlic, peeled and crushed
1 cup heavy cream, or 1 cup olive oil
3 tbsp chopped parsley leaves
salt
ground white pepper
ground nutmeg
4 tbsp grated Parmesan (optional)

How I make it

Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking dish with parchment paper.
Slice the potatoes and sweet potatoes thinly with a food processor or mandoline.
Put the slices in a large bowl, add the garlic, cream (or olive oil), parsley and seasonings and toss gently.
Arrange the slices in the dish in tight layers, pressing each layer down with your palm so no gaps remain.
Pour the rest of the cream and seasonings from the bowl over the top.
Set another baking dish on top, press down and leave it in place.
Bake for about 40 minutes, then remove the top dish.
Sprinkle with the cheese, if using, and bake about 20 minutes more, until golden. Check with a toothpick that the potatoes are tender, and serve hot.

What I've learned

With olive oil instead of cream and no Parmesan, the gratin is pareve.
