Ingredients

  

  • 4 large red potatoes (about 2 pounds) (peeled and cut into 1-inch pieces)
  • 2 medium sweet potatoes (about 1 pounds) (peeled and cut into 1-inch pieces)
  • ¼ cup butter
  • ½ cup milk, plus more if needed
  • ¼ cup sour cream
  • ¼ cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 tablespoon prepared horseradish
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper
  • ¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg

Instructions

 

  1. Boil the red and sweet potatoes in a large pot of salted water until tender, about 15 minutes. Drain and transfer to a large bowl.
  2. Add butter, milk, sour cream, Parmesan, horseradish, salt, pepper, cinnamon, and nutmeg.
  3. Mash with a potato masher until smooth but still slightly textured. For whipped potatoes, add a little more milk and butter and whip with an electric mixer. Adjust seasoning and top with a bit of butter, if desired.
