Over medium heat, melt 2 tablespoons of the butter in a Cuisinart® 3-quart sauté pan. Add the chopped garlic and onions and the drained, sliced leeks; cook until tender and wilted, about 5 minutes. Stir in the vegetable broth, herbs, salt, and pepper; bring to a boil, then reduce the heat and simmer for 3 minutes. Drain, reserving the vegetables and broth separately.

Insert the 4 mm slicing disc. Slice the russet potatoes using firm pressure; remove and reserve. Slice the sweet potatoes using firm pressure; remove and reserve.

Arrange half the sliced russet potatoes in the prepared pan; top with half the sliced sweet potatoes; distribute half the leek/onion mixture over the sweet potatoes, and sprinkle with the remaining Parmesan cheese. Repeat the layers, ending with sweet potatoes. Pour the reserved broth over the potatoes. Top evenly with the buttered crumb and cheese mixture. Cover with a sheet of foil that has been coated with cooking spray and bake in the preheated oven for 45 minutes. Uncover and continue to bake until the potatoes are tender, 20 – 30 minutes longer. Let the potatoes rest for 10 – 15 minutes before serving.

Note: If you wish to prepare this dish ahead, blanch both types of potatoes separately for 3 minutes in boiling water to which

1 teaspoon of vinegar has been added; this will prevent them from darkening.
