Potato, Beetroot and Sweet Potato Gratin image

If you are looking for a sweet potato dish that looks beautiful and isn't loaded with brown sugar and marshmallows, this is it. From the Australian Women's Weekly. An excellent winter side dish with roast meat or as a vegetarian main course. I used lite evap instead of cream, and baked ricotta with chillies and rosemary. DH & I loved it-- the leftovers made a wonderful lunch to take to work. BTW, beetroot translates to red beets in the USA.

This gratin is a great make-ahead dish. I made it the night before and reheated it for dinner the next day. It was just as good the second time around.
