Emeril's Scalloped Russet and Sweet Potato Casserole

I love to watch Emeril Live. He made this recipe and it looked so good I just had to get the recipe. I haven't ever used both potatoes before in a casserole. Thought it would be very interesting to see what it tasted like. :) I changed the cheese to what we like.
