4 oz. Cheddar
4 oz. Monterey jack
2 pounds russet potatoes
2 pounds sweet potatoes
2 cups half-and-half
Adjust oven rack to middle position; preheat oven to 375 F. Coat a 9x13-inch baking pan with nonstick spray. Arrange all ingredients so layering will go quickly and potatoes will not begin to go dark.
Toss cheeses together in bowl. Peel potatoes. Slice thinly, preferably using food processor or mandoline. Coat bottom of pan with a little cream.
Layer ingredients in following order: 1/2 of sweet potato slices, salt and freshly ground pepper to taste, 1/2 cup half-and-half, 1/2 cup cheese mixture, 1/2 of baking potato slices, salt and pepper, 1/2 cup half-and-half and 1/2 cup of cheese mixture.
Repeat layering with remaining ingredients, and top with last of cheese mixture.
Cover pan with foil and bake 35 minutes. Remove foil and bake until potatoes are bubbly and cheese begins to brown, about 30 minutes. Test with a fork for doneness.
Remove pan from oven and set aside 5 minutes before cutting and serving. Makes 8 to 10 servings.
