Potato and Sweet Potato Tian

Layer-and-bake dishes offer ways to turn leftovers into something luscious -- and they're ideal mediums for healthful ingredients. In this dish, a little Gruyere cheese provides a decadent texture, while sweet potatoes, leeks, and tangy grated apple make the dish especially moist, so you can use less fat.

I have made this recipe several times subsituting based on what I have in my cabinet and it is always delicious. For instance, I always use a mixture of Monterey Jack and parmesan for the gruyere and have substituted yellow onions and gala Apple as needed. A great lower fat version for those who like scalloped potatoes with a delicate sweetness and great blend of flavors and nutrients. What more could you ask for?
