Ingredients
  

  • 4 medium sweet potatoes, peeled
  • 2 cups baby gold potatoes (about 8 ounces)
  • 6 tablespoons salted butter, melted
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • 1 cup cheddar cheese, shredded
  • ¼ cup parmesan cheese, grated

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 425°F.
  • Place two wooden spoons or chopsticks on either side of your sweet potato on a cutting board. Slice potato into ⅛-inch thick slices, using the spoons or chopsticks as a guide so you don't cut all the way through the potato.
    4 medium sweet potatoes, peeled
  • Arrange potatoes in an oven proof baking pan or cast iron skillet. Fill in the spaces around the potatoes with the baby gold potatoes.
    2 cups baby gold potatoes (about 8 ounces)
  • Add the seasoning to the melted butter and stir to combine. Using a pastry brush, brush butter on both the sweet potatoes and the baby gold potatoes. Continue brushing on until you have used all of the butter.
    6 tablespoons salted butter, melted, 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • Bake in 425°F oven for 60 minutes. Every 10-15 minutes, baste the potatoes with the melted butter in the bottom of the pan.
  • In a small bowl, combine the cheeses. Sprinkle cheese on top of potatoes and continue to bake for an additional 5-10 minutes, or until cheese is fully melted. Remove from oven, sprinkle with flake salt and rosemary, if desired, and let cool slightly before serving.
