Yukon Gold and Sweet Potato Gratin image

This from Nov., 2005 Bon Appetit. Another one which I made several times in the ensuing months, then forgot until I just found it misfiled ! Recipe calls for 13x9" baking dish, but I use the next larger size, since estimating amounts of potato slices is inexact ! Easy to prepare ahead and bake when you start the rest of the meal.
