Slice the potatoes into 1/8"-1/4" thick rounds. Set aside.3.) In a small sauce pan, heat the olive oil over medium-high. Add the minced garlic and saute for 2 minutes or until fragrant and golden.4.) Add the butter to the garlic and let it melt and foam a little bit. Then sprinkle the flour evenly over the butter and whisk into a paste.5.) When the flour-butter mixture has turned a blonde color (usually 1 min. or so after mixing), whisk in the milk, the herbs, paprika, nutmeg, and several grinds of pepper and salt to taste. Reduce heat to medium-low, and cook, stirring occasionally, until the milk is nearly boiling.6.) Once the milk has bubbled a little bit, turn off the heat and stir in half of the parmsan cheese (abt 2 tbsp).Now it's time to arrange the gratin!7.) Pour 1/4 cup of the bechemel sauce into the bottom of the casserole. Layer 1/2 of the sliced sweet potato on top of the sauce, then layer 1/2 of the blue potato slices on top of the sweets. Repeat with another 1/4 cup of sauce and the other half of the potatoes.8.) Pour the remaining bechemel over the top of the gratin. Put the Gratin into the oven covered with either the casserole lid or a sheet of tinfoil. Bake for 40 minutes.9.) Take the casserole out of the oven and raise heat to 375*.
