Steps:
- Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Cut Yukon Gold and sweet potatoes into 1/8-inch-thick slices with a handheld slicer or sharp knife, keeping potato varieties separate.
- Brush an ovenproof 9- or 10-inch nonstick skillet with some butter. Starting in center of pan, arrange about 20 Yukon Gold slices, slightly overlapping, in a circular pattern, covering surface. Brush with butter and generously season with salt and pepper. Make next layer with sweet-potato slices; brush with butter and season. Repeat, alternating colors. Drizzle remaining butter on top of potatoes.

If you've got a 9 to 10-inch cast-iron skillet, use it here-otherwise an ovenproof nonstick skillet will work fine. While we've used 3 different color sweet potatoes-orange, white and purple fleshed, feel free to use your favorite.

- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
- Thinly slice the potatoes using a mandoline, the slicing blade of a food processor or a chef's knife.
- Place the butter in the cast-iron or ovenproof skillet and melt it in the preheated oven. Remove and swirl the butter around to coat, and then pour the butter into a dish.
- Arrange the sweet potato slices in overlapping concentric circles in the skillet, brushing each layer with some of the butter, sprinkling with salt and pepper, and pressing down to compact, until all of the potatoes and butter have been used. Place a layer of foil directly on the top layer and place an empty pan on top to pack the potatoes down.

Steps:
- Position a rack in the upper third of the oven and preheat to 450 degrees F. Peel the sweet potatoes and slice into 1/8-inch-thick rounds (use a mandoline if you have one). Peel half of the russet potatoes and slice into 1/8-inch-thick rounds. (Do not rinse-you'll need the starch for the dish to set.)
- Coat the bottom of a 10-inch nonstick ovenproof skillet with 4 tablespoons melted butter. Starting in the center of the skillet, arrange a layer of russet potato slices in concentric circles, slightly overlapping them. Sprinkle with a pinch of salt and some of the rosemary leaves.
- Set the skillet over medium heat. Working quickly, add the remaining sliced russets in 2 more layers, then the sliced sweet potatoes in 2 layers, sprinkling lightly with more salt and rosemary between layers. (Check to make sure the bottom is browning evenly; adjust the heat as needed.) Drizzle with 4 tablespoons melted butter. Peel and thinly slice the remaining russet potatoes and add them to the skillet in 2 or 3 more layers, lightly seasoning each layer with salt and rosemary. Drizzle with the remaining 4 tablespoons melted butter.
- When the potatoes are golden brown on the bottom, transfer the skillet to the oven and bake until the potatoes soften slightly, about 30 minutes. Remove from the oven; center the bottom of a 9-inch cake pan on the surface of the potatoes and press firmly a few times to help the layers stick together. Remove the cake pan and return the skillet to the oven; bake until the potatoes are tender and the top is golden brown, about 20 more minutes.
- Let the potatoes cool 5 minutes in the skillet, then run a small knife around the edge to loosen. Set an inverted serving plate on top of the skillet and carefully flip the potatoes onto the plate. Season with salt and pepper.

SWEET POTATOES ANNA
Potatoes Anna is basically a dish where you take any type of potato, slice it really thinly, then arrange the slices in a pan and bake. (It's a great holiday dish because you can rope in a family member to either be the slicer or the arranger!)

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 450 degrees F. Melt butter in a small saucepan over medium heat. Meanwhile, slice the sweet potatoes on a mandoline. Soak prunes in port for 20 minutes, then drain and roughly chop. Coat a cast-iron skillet with butter, then arrange half of the potatoes in an overlapping circle until the bottom of the skillet is covered. Brush the top generously with melted butter, and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Scatter half of the prunes over the sweet potatoes, then repeat the whole process. Press down on the potatoes so they are compact.
- Bake 20-30 minutes until potatoes are cooked through and nicely caramelized. Run a knife around the edge of the skillet to loosen. Place a serving plate on top of the skillet and flip over to serve.
SWEET POTATOES ANNA WITH PRUNES
This layered sweet potato gratin comes out of the oven caramelized on the edges and glistening with butter. The potatoes in the center are soft, their layers embedded with prunes; the ones around the edges are so crisp and sweet from the port, they taste candied. Slice the potatoes thinly - use a mandoline if you have one - and check the potatoes after 35 minutes in the oven. By 40 minutes, ours were perfect.

Steps:
- Clarify the butter: In a small saucepan set over low heat, melt the butter. Skim off any foam, then pour the clear liquid into a bowl, leaving behind the solids.
- Heat the port to a simmer in a small saucepan over medium heat. Add the prunes, turn off the heat and let them soak until plumped, about 20 minutes. Drain and chop the prunes coarsely.
- Heat oven to 450 degrees.
- Brush a layer of clarified butter onto your favorite 8- or 9-inch round baking dish or ovenproof frying pan.
- Arrange a layer of potatoes, overlapping in circles, in the dish. Brush with the clarified butter and season with salt and pepper. Arrange another layer of potatoes and sprinkle with about half the prune pieces. Season with salt and pepper. Brush with clarified butter. Repeat with one more layer of potatoes and prunes, then end with a layer of potatoes. Remember to brush each layer with clarified butter and salt and pepper. You can do four layers of potatoes or six; it's up to you. Pack the potatoes tightly by pressing down on them with your palms. If there's a little butter left at the end, it's no big deal.
- Bake until crisp and tender, 35 to 45 minutes.
- Remove from the oven and let cool in the pan for a few minutes. Then flip the cake onto a serving plate and cut into wedges. If desired, finish with a dusting of sugar and a couple of minutes of broiling, for a brûlée top. It can also be made using apples and prunes, or just apples.

Steps:
- Heat oven to 425 degrees. Using a mandoline or sharp knife, slice potatoes about 1/8-inch thick. Place in a very large bowl, and add butter, thyme and salt and pepper to taste. Toss well until all slices are well coated with butter and seasonings.
- Reserve about a dozen of the best-looking slices for top layer. Arrange a layer of slightly overlapping slices in 10-inch round gratin dish, skillet or other shallow ovenproof pan. Layer potatoes until all are used, topping gratin with reserved slices.
- Place a sheet of heavy-duty foil directly on top of potatoes. Place pan in oven, and place a heavy pan slightly smaller in diameter than first pan directly on foil. Bake for 30 minutes.
- Remove top pan, and carefully peel away foil. (If necessary, use a spatula to help separate foil from potatoes.) Continue baking until potatoes are soft and top is almost caramelized, 20 to 30 minutes longer. Cut into wedges and serve hot.

POTATOES ANNA
Steps:
- Preheat oven to 450°F. Using a mandoline or chef's knife, slice potatoes as thinly as possible (less than 1/4 inch thick).
- Brush a 10-inch cast-iron skillet with 1 to 2 tablespoons butter to lightly coat. Starting in center of pan, arrange potato slices, overlapping slightly, in a circular pattern (see below). Brush potatoes with one-third of the remaining butter; season well with salt and pepper. Repeat to make two more layers with remaining potatoes and butter, seasoning each layer.
- Place over high heat until butter in pan sizzles, 2 to 4 minutes. Transfer to oven; bake until potatoes are tender, about 1 hour. (To make ahead, let the dish cool completely and refrigerate up to 8 hours, loosely covered with foil. Reheat at 350°F before serving.)
- When ready to serve, run a small spatula around edge of pan; slide a large spatula underneath potatoes to loosen. Carefully invert onto a plate, and cut into wedges. Serve immediately.
- Layering Potatoes
- Brushing with butter helps bind the potatoes together as it flavors them; sprinkling each layer with salt and pepper results in a well-seasoned dish.

Arrange a layer of potatoes, overlapping in circles, in the dish. Brush with the clarified butter and season with salt and pepper. Arrange another layer of potatoes and sprinkle with about half the prune pieces. Season with salt and pepper. Brush with clarified butter. Repeat with one more layer of potatoes and prunes, then end with a layer of potatoes. Remember to brush each layer with clarified butter and salt and pepper. You can do four layers of potatoes or six; it's up to you. Pack the potatoes tightly by pressing down on them with your palms. If there's a little butter left at the end, it's no big deal.

If desired, finish with a dusting of sugar and a couple of minutes of broiling, for a brûlée top. It can also be made using apples and prunes, or just apples.
Tips:
- Choose the right potatoes. Use a variety of potato that is good for roasting, such as Yukon Gold, Russet, or Fingerling potatoes.
- Slice the potatoes thinly and evenly. This will help them cook evenly and create a nice, crispy crust.
- Use a nonstick skillet. This will help prevent the potatoes from sticking and burning.
- Cook the potatoes over medium heat. This will help them cook through without burning.
- Don't overcrowd the skillet. Cook the potatoes in batches if necessary.
- Season the potatoes with salt and pepper. You can also add other herbs and spices, such as garlic powder, onion powder, or paprika.
- Flip the potatoes halfway through cooking. This will help them cook evenly on both sides.
- Cook the potatoes until they are golden brown and crispy. This will take about 10-15 minutes per side.
