A cozy, swirled mash of russet and sweet potatoes that’s buttery, fluffy, and the perfect balance of savory and sweet.
Add the peeled and chopped russet potatoes and sweet potatoes to a medium pot with enough cold water to cover, along with a generous pinch of salt.
Bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer and cook for 15 to 20 minutes, or until the potatoes are fork tender.
Drain the potatoes well and return them to the warm pot. Let them sit for about a minute so the extra steam escapes. This small step keeps the mash fluffy instead of watery.
Using a potato masher, mash the potatoes just enough to break them down. Don’t overmix—you want the russet and sweet potato to stay a little separate so you get those beautiful golden swirls.
Pour in the milk, add the butter and salt, and mash gently again until everything comes together.
Nonna's Tip: warm the milk before adding to help the mash stay smooth and creamy without needing extra butter or cream.
Taste and adjust the seasoning if needed. Add black pepper or a pinch of garlic powder if using. Serve warm and enjoy!
