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

Preparation

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.

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.
