Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pounds Russet potatoes, peeled and diced
- 1.5 pounds Sweet potatoes, peeled and diced
- 1 cup Heavy cream
- 6 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 1.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
- 2 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
Instructions
Place the diced russet potatoes in one pot and the diced sweet potatoes in a separate pot. Cover each pot with cold water and add a pinch of salt to each.
Bring both pots to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce the heat and simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until the potatoes are fork-tender.
While the potatoes are cooking, combine the heavy cream, unsalted butter, minced garlic, and 1 teaspoon of salt in a small saucepan. Heat over low heat, stirring occasionally, until the butter is melted and the mixture is warm. Do not let it boil.
Drain the russet potatoes and return them to their pot. Pour half of the warm cream mixture over them and mash until smooth, using a potato masher or ricer. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper to taste.
Drain the sweet potatoes and return them to their pot. Pour the remaining cream mixture over them and mash until smooth. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper to taste.
To create the marbled effect, spoon alternating dollops of the mashed russet potatoes and sweet potatoes into a serving dish. Use a spatula or spoon to gently swirl the two together, being careful not to overmix, so the colors remain distinct.
Serve warm as a side dish and enjoy the beautiful presentation and complementary flavors.
