Preparation
Preheat oven to 350 °F (180 °C). Butter a 13 x 9-inch (33 x 23 cm) glass baking dish.
Whisk flour, salt, thyme and pepper into milk. Place sweet potato slices in a large pot and cover with milk mixture. Add bay leaf. Bring to boil; reduce heat to low and simmer, uncovered, for about 4 min. Add Yukon gold potatoes and simmer, uncovered, for 8 min longer or until potatoes are almost tender. Remove from heat and discard bay leaf.
Spread potato mixture into prepared baking dish and sprinkle with cheese. Bake for 20 min or until top is golden and bubbling and potatoes are tender. Remove and let stand for 10 min before serving.
Tips
White or red potatoes can be used in place of the Yukon gold. Choose a round potato for a waxier texture that holds together when simmered.
For the Adventurous: Add a crumb topping after baking potatoes. Combine the Parmesan cheese with 1 1/2 cups (375 mL) fresh bread crumbs, 1/3 cup (80 ml) melted butter, 2 cloves minced garlic and 2 tbsp (30 mL) chopped fresh parsley. Sprinkle over baked potatoes and broil for about 3 min or until golden.
