BAKED MARBLED MASHED POTATOES

Steps:

• Place white potatoes in a large pot and cover with salted water. Place sweet potatoes in a second pot and cover with salted water. Bring both pots to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer, uncovered, until tender, about 25 minutes. Drain and set aside to cool in 2 separate bowls.
• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• While potatoes are cooling, melt butter in a small pan over medium heat. Add shallots and cook until tender, about 5 minutes. Remove from the heat.
• Mash potatoes with a potato masher or ricer.
• Beat cream in a chilled glass or metal bowl with an electric mixer until soft peaks form. Whisk sour cream into whipped cream.
• Stir 1/2 of the shallot mixture into each bowl then gently fold in. Gently fold 1/2 of the cream mixture into each bowl. Divide salt, pepper, and nutmeg evenly between the two bowls. Taste and adjust seasoning.
• Place 1/2 of the sweet potato mixture in a 2-quart baking dish. Layer 1/2 of the white potato mixture on top. Repeat layers once more, then swirl with a spatula to create a marbled effect.
• Mix melted butter, bread crumbs, and parsley for topping together. Sprinkle topping mixture over potatoes.
• Bake in the preheated oven until topping is golden brown and potatoes are hot all the way through, 30 to 35 minutes.

MARBLED MASHED SWEET POTATOES

Steps:

• Put the potatoes and sweet potatoes in a large saucepan and cover with cold water by 1 inch. Add a generous pinch of salt, bring to a simmer and cook until the potatoes are easily pierced with a knife, 35 to 40 minutes. Drain and let cool slightly. Peel the Yukon gold potatoes and transfer to a medium bowl. Peel the sweet potatoes and transfer to a separate bowl.
• Divide the butter between the 2 bowls. Add the heavy cream and sour cream to the Yukon gold potatoes and mash well with a potato masher; season with salt and black pepper. Add the brown sugar and cayenne to the bowl with the sweet potatoes and mash well; season with salt and black pepper.
• Dollop the potatoes and sweet potatoes into a warmed serving dish and swirl using a large spoon. (The potatoes can be made up to 2 hours ahead; set aside in a baking dish. Reheat, covered, at 350 degrees F, 15 to 20 minutes.)

MARBLED STUFFED POTATOES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Put the russet and sweet potatoes directly on the oven rack and bake 30 minutes. Pierce each potato a few times with a fork and continue to bake until tender, 15 to 20 more minutes for the sweet potato and 20 to 25 more minutes for the russet potatoes. Let cool slightly.
• Peel the sweet potato. Transfer to a bowl and mash lightly with a fork until almost smooth. Trim a thin slice off the top of each russet potato, cutting lengthwise. Scoop most of the flesh into another bowl, leaving the shells intact. Add the sour cream and butter to the bowl and mash with a fork. Stir in the scallions, 1/2 cup cheese, the nutmeg, 1 1/4 teaspoon salt, and pepper to taste. Gently fold in the sweet potato.
• Brush the potato skins with olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Generously fill with the marbled potato mixture and sprinkle with the remaining 1/4 cup cheese.
• Reduce the oven temperature to 375 degrees F. Place the stuffed potatoes on a baking sheet and bake until the cheese melts, 25 to 30 minutes.

SMASHED SWEET POTATOES

Steps:

• Toss 3 sweet potatoes (cut into 1-inch-thick rounds) with 2 tablespoons olive oil and 1 teaspoon ras el hanout on a baking sheet. Season with salt, pepper and a pinch of cayenne. Roast at 400˚, 30 minutes. Smash the potatoes, then roast at 475˚ until crisp, 25 to 30 minutes. Drizzle with 1/4 cup plain yogurt mixed with 1/4 teaspoon each lemon juice and zest and a pinch each of salt and pepper.

MASHED POTATOES WITH CARROTS

Steps:

• Cook potatoes and carrots in separate medium saucepans of boiling salted water until tender, about 25 minutes. Drain potatoes and carrots. Return each vegetable to its own pan. Mash potatoes; stir over low heat to dry slightly, about 2 minutes. Mix in whipping cream and 3 tablespoons butter. Mash carrots coarsely in pan. Mix into potatoes. Season mixture to taste with salt and pepper. (Mashed potatoes can be prepared 2 hours ahead. Let stand at room temperature. Rewarm over low heat before serving.)
• Transfer mashed potatoes to large bowl and serve hot.

MASHED POTATOES

Steps:

• Peel, cut up and boil potatoes until tender.
• Drain water and put potatoes in a mixing bowl.
• Add margarine, sour cream and milk.
• Use an electric mixer and mix until desired consistency.
• The KEY here is to add salt and pepper to taste.
• You might add anywhere from a teaspoon to several tablespoons of salt, just depending on how much you like salt.
• Pepper is the same way, although use it more sparingly.
• Just remember to add a little at a time, until you get it where you like it.
• Once that is done, I usually put a couple of pats of margarine on top of the finished potatoes to let it melt.
• Then sprinkle parsley over it.
• This will make the best mashed potatoes I've ever found anywhere.
