Scalloped Potatoes With Ham

Submitted by Brookelynne26

"Found this recipe in a Southern Living Cookbook. It is a bit different from the usual recipes in that it uses both baking and sweet potatoes and also gruyere cheese. Posting here for safekeeping; I haven't tried it yet but it looks delicious."
