Servings
Ingredients
- 1 pound Yukon Gold potatoes, peeled and cut into 1 1/2-inch chunks
- 1 pound sweet potatoes, peeled and cut into 1 1/2-inch chunks
- 1/2 cup low-fat milk
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1 teaspoon brown sugar
- 3/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
Directions
Preparation
- Place potatoes and sweet potatoes in a large saucepan and add enough water to cover. Bring to a boil over high heat and cook until very tender when pierced with a fork, 20-25 minutes.
- Drain the potatoes, then mash them in the pot to the desired consistency. Place milk and butter in a small bowl and microwave on High until the butter is mostly melted and the milk is warm, 30-40 seconds.
- Alternatively, place in a small saucepan and heat over medium until the milk is warm. Stir the milk mixture, sugar, salt and pepper into the mashed potatoes until combined.

I like this recipe because it helps me serve less “white” food to my family, while getting in more fiber and nutrients. I cut the salt back to just a pinch and made up for the lost flavor by adding a bay leaf to the potato water while cooking. This recipe also makes tasty potato pancakes the next morning.
