Sweet Potatoes with Parmesan 

WARNING! WARNING!  This is NOT a heart-smart recipe!!!!

Take a bunch of sweet potatoes ... 
this year we made two big casseroles of this dish using 
two pounds of potatoes, two 8 oz bricks of cheese (one romano, one parmesan) 
and a pound of butter (the real stuff, not margarine) ... 
So, I guess for one dish you'll need a lb. of sweet potatoes, 
8 oz of grated cheese (either or both, your choice) and a 1/2 lb of butter.

Peel the potatoes and slice them into 1/8 inch slices.
Finely grate and mix the cheeses.
Melt the butter.

Create a layer of sweet potato slices, overlapping them, in your casserole dish.  
Sprinkle with 2-3 tablespoons of grated cheese 
   and dribble 2-3 tbsp of melted butter over that.  
On top of this, create another layer of slices, another 2-3 tbsp of cheese, 
   another 2-3 tbsp of butter 
   ... keep doing this until the casserole dish is full and you've used up cheese a
   nd butter....

Cover.  Microwave on high for 20 min.  
Then uncover and stick into a 400 deg. oven until the top layer is browned 
   and the whole thing is bubbly hot.

That's it.  
(By the way ... this came out of a November Gourmet magazine about 15 years ago.)
