Two-Potato Casserole
Serves 4

Nonstick cooking spray
1 cup apple cider
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1/8 teaspoon ground cloves
1 tablespoon unsalted margarine
2 medium-size sweet potatoes (about 2/3 pound), peeled and sliced 1/8 inch thick
2 medium-size baking potatoes (about 3/4 pound), peeled and sliced 1/8 inch thick

Preheat the oven to 450� F. Coat a 1-quart ovenproof glass casserole, and a sheet of aluminum foil just large enough to cover it, with the cooking spray; set aside.

In a small heavy saucepan, bring the apple cider, salt, pepper and cloves to a boil; cook, uncovered, until the cider has boiled down to 1/2 cup -- about 5 minutes; set aside. Melt the margarine in another small saucepan.

On the bottom of the casserole, arrange a single layer of the sweet potatoes, drizzle with 1/2 teaspoon of the melted margarine, and spoon 1 1/2 tablespoons of the cider over them. Cover the sweet potato layer with a layer of the baking potatoes. With your hands, press the potato layers firmly together. Continue to build and compress 5 more layers of the potatoes, margarine, and cider in the same fashion.

Place the foil directly on top of the potatoes, then place a weight, such as a heavy lid, on the foil. Bake on the lowest rack of the oven for 45 minutes. Transfer to the floor of the oven and cook for 5 minutes or until the bottom layer of potatoes is crusty and browned. Cool the casserole upright on a wire rack for 3 minutes; with a spatula, gently loosen the potatoes around the edges and invert onto a heated serving platter.
