Preparation
1
Cook the potatoes: Preheat the oven to 400ºF. Peel the sweet potatoes and the russet potatoes. Cut them into 1-inch cubes and put them into a pot and barely cover them with water. Cover, bring the water to a boil. Cook until tender, about 15 minutes. Place a colander in the sink, place the potatoes in the colander to drain them. Return to the potatoes the pot. Add butter or margarine (2 tbsp, 1 tbsp), milk or plant based milk (1/3 cup, 3 tbsp), and salt (1/4 tsp, 1/8 tsp) to the potatoes. Use a potatoes masher or an electric mixer to mash the sweet potatoes and russet potatoes into a soft pure.
