Method
 

Preparation
  1. Peel all the potatoes and slice them thinly using a mandolin slicer for uniform cooking.
  2. Spray a baking dish with cooking spray to prevent sticking.
Layering
  1. Layer the Yukon potato slices in the baking dish, spreading them evenly across the bottom.
  2. Sprinkle aged manchego and smoked gouda cheese over the potatoes.
  3. Drizzle about 1/4 cup of fat-free half & half over the cheese.
  4. Season with salt, pepper, and rosemary.
  5. Continue layering potato slices, cheese, cream, and spices until three layers are formed.
  6. Incorporate sweet potato slices after the Yukon potatoes, followed by cheese, half & half, and spices.
  7. Complete the layering process, ensuring the top layer is well-covered with cheese and cream.
Baking
  1. Cover the baking dish with foil and bake in a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C) for 1 hour.
  2. Uncover and continue baking for another hour until the potatoes are tender.
  3. Increase the oven temperature to 475°F (245°C) and bake for an additional 30 minutes to crisp the top.
  4. Once cooked, let cool slightly before serving.

Notes

For perfect results, ensure uniform slices for even cooking. Feel free to experiment with different cheeses and herbs.
