Total Time:
40 mins
Servings:
6 servings, about 2/3 cup each
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
1.
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 to 25 minutes.
2.
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 to 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.
