This casserole of thinly sliced sweet potatoes is more than just a pretty presentation. It practically sings with notes of sweet, tangy and herby flavor. Seasoning the potatoes with ingredients—brown sugar and apple cider vinegar—that both complement and contrast with their natural sweetness makes this a dynamic dish. The buttery toasted bread crumb topping provides a textural contrast, a touch of saltiness and lots of fresh flavor from the parsley and thyme. The end result is a perfectly balanced and deeply savory side that feels right at home at a special feast. Serve it at your holiday meal or a dinner party, but don’t hold back on making it for yourself, if the mood strikes—it’s too good to save just for special occasions.

    Pick up potatoes by the handful, and place slices one on top of another, forming a small stack. Place potato stack on its side in ungreased 8-inch square (2-quart) baking dish. Continue making small stacks with remaining potatoes, and arranging them side-by-side in dish to form rows of tightly packed stacked slices.
