I am giving this 5 stars, because my husband loved it and it is difficult to get that reaction from him. I made it exactly as the recipe stated, but doubled it and it turned out great. I agree that the yams cook quicker so its best to cut them in thicker slices than the white potatoes. And I will add cheese to the middle of the casserole next time. Very yummy.

This was okay. My family really likes Yams; but still met with so so results. I put in a smaller container and messed up my layers of Yam to potato - which may be the reason for the so so results. Next time will try to make sure the potato (white) has the cheese and may be better. This would be a good recipe for those who don't really like the flavor of Yams, but want the additional nutrition in a potato dish.

Pretty good, not too hard to make, and different. I think next time I will chop the onion, and use a more flavourful cheese than mozzarella. Thanks!

This was excellent... even my husband loved it and he's not crazy about yams! Great way to fit more of this highly nutritious vegetable into our weekly rotation. I made just enough for the two of us in a tiny little casserole and put just a bit of grated cheddar between the layers. Will definitely make regularly from now on... thanks!!

This dish was great! I cannot cook, lol, i burn water. However I easily made this dish and my family was not very willing to try it since I made it but once I convinced them to they loved it even though normally they hate sweet potatoes. It will now be a tradition for me to make this every thanksgiving and christmas.

This was an excellent flavor combination. I made a few adjustments though. I used a deeper dish and did several layerings. I also used beef broth instead of vegetable and eliminated the bread crumbs and flour. I peeled the potatoes as well and added cheese in with every layer, as well as a lot of butter. My husband loved it so much that he ate three helpings and took the rest to work the following day, he even asked me to make it again often.

Came out perfect. I used shallots instead of onion and it was very tasty. Turned out to be a nice dish to serve with salmon.

I am giving this 5 stars even though it was not a big hit at my Thanksgiving table. I really liked the texture and the fact that it was an alternative to the sweet yam casserole that is a tradition to serve. I think it tasted great, even heated up the next day.

Really yummy. I used the tips from the other reviewers (substitued cream for half of the chicken broth), used only yams, as we had a mashed potato dish, and made it even better - I carmelized the onions first till they were golden brown and a little blackened. The flavor of the carmelized onions made it extra tasty with the baked yams. My family said we could have skipped the chees (I used mozarella), but I bet it would be even better with gruyere or similar rich cheese.

I substituted cream for half the broth, and added one teaspoon of dried thyme leaves and 1/2 teaspoon of finely ground black pepper. I had Swiss cheese in my refrigerator so that is what I used, and sprinkled a little in amongst the potato layers. It had a nice flavor, not bland, and wasn't soupy or dilute. With the cheese added, a small portion of leftovers served as lunch the next day. The sweet potatoes also give a tang to the taste so that it is not just all starch-flavored. I liked this variation, not sticky or candy-sweet.

Really loved this recipe. I went to my friend's house for dinner and they found out I was vegetarian so they whipped up a special meal for me including a sweet potato dish with plain potato, spinach and cheese. It was yum, so ever since I've been trying to find a similar dish to make myself. This one was great, I made a few adjustments, omitting the bread crumbs and so...also I didn't cook it in the oven so it was slow cooked in a Bessemer dish (YUM!)-the vego stock and flour didn't work out great for me so I omitted it the second time, anyway despite all the small changes, there was not once this recipe was not wholly devoured by me!

not sure what I did wrong but this wasn't very good at all. I followed the recipe exactly, which I have to admit is unusual for me, but it was so soupy we had to strain out the potatoes and the flavor was washed out. Hubby said he'd eat it "once a year---maybe".

Made this with my roast beef dinner for New Years with friends, as I had some vegetarian guests. Turned out really good. I used chicken flavoured oxo (no worries, made sure it was vegetarian-friendly and no actual meat used)in with the water/flour mix, and the guys raved about it. A definite keeper for when I need a good, easy vegetarian dish!

I made this for Christmas dinner and increased the serving size to 12. It worked out well and was a pretty easy dish to make for a large number. I divided it into serving dishes prior to cooking and the only drawback was that total cooking time was a little over 1 1/2 hours (not the 1 hr given in the original)
