Double Potato Mash
- 4 1/2 pounds sweet potatoes
- 4 1/2 pounds white all-purpose potatoes
- 1/2 cup olive oil
- 1 teaspoon ground mace
- Salt and freshly ground white pepper
- Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
- Loosely wrap the sweet potatoes individually in aluminium foil and cook in the oven for 1 1/2 hours or until cooked through.
- Leave to cool in their foil parcels.
- Meanwhile, peel and chop the white potatoes and cook them in salted water until tender; then drain and mash.
- Open the sweet potato parcels carefully over the mashed white potatoes to catch all the juices that have leaked from them.
- Still holding each sweet potato over the other potatoes, peel the skin away with your fingers and scoop out the flesh into the mash.
- Add the oil and mace and beat the potatoes together very well with a wooden spoon adding salt and pepper, to taste.
- Serve immediately.
