• Bake in oven for 1 to 1 1/4 hours, until potatoes are tender when pierced with a fork. Cover with aluminum foil if top gets too dark.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°. In a large saucepan, melt butter over low heat. Stir in flour, salt and pepper until smooth. Gradually add milk. Bring to a boil; cook and stir 2 minutes or until thickened.

• Place potatoes and sweet potatoes in a large baking dish. Mix in onion. Add 1 to 1 1/4 cups vegetable both.
• Bake in the preheated oven until potatoes start to soften, about 20 minutes. Remove from oven and add Gruyere cheese. Pour in more vegetable broth if casserole looks dry.

• Add the cream and milk to a large saucepan over medium-low heat and bring to a gentle simmer. Add the nutmeg, a big pinch of salt and some pepper. Meanwhile, slice the potatoes on a mandoline to 1/8-inch thick. Place the potatoes in the warm cream mixture and simmer gently until the potatoes are two-thirds of the way cooked and the cream has thickened, about 15 minutes.
• Place a 9-by-12-inch flameproof gratin dish on the stove over low heat. Brush the bottom and the sides with the melted butter. Spread the garlic around the bottom of the dish. Cook just long enough to toast the garlic in the butter, 3 to 4 minutes. Add a layer of the potato mixture. Combine the Gruyere and Parmesan in a bowl, then sprinkle a third of the cheese over the potatoes. Repeat the layering 2 more times, finishing with the remaining cheese. Pick the thyme leaves and sprinkle over the top, mixing with last layer of cheese. Place the gratin dish on a rimmed baking sheet and bake until bubbly and golden, 45 to 50 minutes (see Cook's Note).

• Cover; bake 30 minutes. Uncover; bake 30 minutes longer or until potatoes are tender and top is golden brown. Let stand 10 minutes before serving.

Steps:

• After seasoning the roast (see recipe above), use the olive oil to grease a 13-by-9-by-2-inch baking dish. Layer the potatoes, overlapping them slightly, creating alternate rows of white and sweet potatoes. Season each layer lightly with salt and pepper. Pour the cream over the potatoes and sprinkle with garlic and nutmeg. Cover loosely with aluminum foil.
• Place the roast and the gratin in the oven and bake for 45 minutes. Uncover the potatoes and continue to bake for 15 minutes longer. Remove the gratin from the oven. Recover it to keep it warm and set aside while preparing veal sauce (see recipe above).
