Mashed Sweet Potatoes

Are you sick of regular ol' mashed potatoes?  No?  Me either...

But if you ever want to mix things up a bit, give these White and Sweet Mashed Potatoes a try!  They are delicious and sweet...and a little unusual.  I wasn't sure exactly what to expect when I made them, but I ended up really enjoying them.  I liked that they were seasoned with cinnamon and nutmeg because it smelled amazing.  If you're planning on ham for Easter, these would be a great side dish!

Ingredients:

1-1/2 pound russet potatoes (about 4), peeled and cubed

1-1/2 pounds sweet potatoes (about 4), peeled and cubed

1 cup milk, warmed

1/4 cup butter, cubed

1 teaspoon salt

1/2 teaspoon cinnamon

1/4 teaspoon nutmeg

Directions:

1.  Place potatoes in a large pan and cover with water.  Bring to a boil and then reduce heat.  Cover and simmer for 15-20 minutes or until tender.  Drain potatoes.

2.  Return potatoes to pan.  While mashing the potatoes, add the milk, butter, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg.  Only add enough milk until you reach the desired consistency.
