6 - 8 servings
TOTAL TIME 1 hour 30 minutes
Ingredients
6 medium sweet potatoes, peeled
10 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
1 tablespoon fresh thyme leaves or 1 teaspoon dried thyme
Coarse sea salt and freshly ground black pepper
Preparation
Heat oven to 425 degrees. Using a mandoline or sharp knife, slice
potatoes about 1/8-inch thick. Place in a very large bowl, and add
butter, thyme and salt and pepper to taste. Toss well until all
slices are well coated with butter and seasonings.
Reserve about a dozen of the best-looking slices for top layer.
Arrange a layer of slightly overlapping slices in 10-inch round gratin
dish, skillet or other shallow ovenproof pan. Layer potatoes until
all are used, topping gratin with reserved slices.
Place a sheet of heavy-duty foil directly on top of potatoes. Place
pan in oven, and place a heavy pan slightly smaller in diameter than
first pan directly on foil. Bake for 30 minutes.

I think this recipe would be great with white potatoes too.
Unfortunately, I didn't record the url where I found it - so if anyone
cares *that* much, they can find it themselves.
Sweet Potatoes Anna
2 ¼ lb sweet potatoes
¼ t butter
1 c grated Parmesan Cheese
dash salt and pepper
Melt the butter in a small sauce pan. Peel and slice potatoes as then
as you can. Coat an 8 or 9 in cake pan with some of the melted
butter. Working in a spiral pattern, cover the bottom of the pan with
a layer of potatoes, closely overlapping. Brush the potatoes with
melted butter and lightly sprinkle with salt, pepper and cheese.
Continue layering using butter and cheese. Press down firmly and
cover tightly with foil. (Can be refrigerated or frozen at this point
for later use.)
In a preheated 425o oven, place on lower rack and bake 30 minutes.
Remove foil and bake until potatoes are tender and top is crisp and
light brown (usually about 20-30 longer). Remove from oven, let set
for 5 min. Using a knife, cut around edges for easier serving.
