Yummy! We substituted jersey sweet potatoes for 1 pound of the potatoes, and they were a hit at Christmas dinner. When we tried them a few weeks prior to Christmas we didn't have Guryere cheese on hand, and so we used a basic swiss cheese instead. I would definitely recommend using the Gruyere. This dish is one of my new "comfort foods."
