You've done it again, Karen! Another great recipe! I never would have thought to pair up sweet taters and reg. spuds in a scallop dish, but, this is awesome. Really simple to fix and it went great with Mystergirl's Beef Paprika, #29950. Made a dandy supper! Thanks, Girl, we really enjoyed! Laudee

What a beautiful potato dish and just great for fall. I only used about 1 t. salt because my dad has to watch his salt intake. The cream sauce was rich and the parmesan cheese made a great topping. Thanks Karen.

Really enjoyed this potato dish, Karen. The two different potatoes went well together and made a beautiful appearance. The sauce was wonderful, too. The cayenne definitely gave it some POW. We like our salt so I didn't think 2 teaspoons was too much at all. Just depends on your personal taste for it. Thanks for the posting this recipe.
