"Sweet" Mashed Potatoes

Now what man does not like mashed potatoes?  Certainly, every man in my family feels mash potatoes are a health food and required eating.  I do not know where these ideas come to me but I dream, and constantly daydream, about different dishes to create.  I thought that adding some sweet potatoes to the traditional russet potatoes would add a nice twist and a sweetness possibly requiring less butter and stuff.

This was a concept that turned out even better than I imagined.  The sweet potatoes added a second level of taste while eating the potatoes.  I made them more like a traditional mashed potato than a sweet potato – no brown sugar added.
