    What happens when you put cheese on top of sliced potatoes? Magic, that's what happens.

    Hot bubbly cheese adds saltiness to the dish, while the thyme gives the dish an extra element of flavor that complements the potatoes so well.

    I chose sweet potatoes and russet potatoes to add extra color and an array of nutrients.

    I forgot to add the parsley, even though I have an industrial-sized jar of parsley in my pantry.

    And while I didn't use it in my recipe pictured, I'd recommend using it if you have it in your pantry.

    I like to leave the skin on the potatoes to keep in the nutrients and fiber, and thinly slice the potatoes which helps them cook faster.

    If you aren't a fan of thyme, use a different spice. Rosemary would be delicious!
