Here’s a deliciously satisfying twist on scalloped potatoes. The combination of orange- and yellow/white-fleshed sweet potatoes keeps things a little sweet but mostly savory, plus makes a really pretty presentation. All in all, it’s impressive enough for special occasions—it’d be great alongside Easter ham—but easy enough for weeknights, paired with a simple chicken breast or chops. Or serve it as a vegetarian entrée with a crisp salad.

To make the recipe your own, try it with different types of cheese, with different herbs (or none at all), or by using broth instead of some of the cream.
