SWEET & WHITE POTATO GRATIN



Sweet & White Potato Gratin image

This is a variation on the fabulous recipe in Williams-Sonoma's Holiday Celebrations cookbook. I made it a bit simpler by substituting cheddar for the fontina (not a really close substitution, I know, but I'm so much more likely to have it on hand, and it still tastes great!), replacing the fresh thyme with dried, and adding a French-fried onion topping instead of breadcrumbs, which adds a lovely flavor. I prefer goat cheese to the feta myself, but feta works just fine if you can't find the goat cheese. By the way, as an Italian, I am pleading with you NOT to use the canned powder masquerading as Parmesan cheese! The bagged, pre-shredded cheese I'll allow, however! :)
