Swirled mashed potatoes

This was my contribution to the Thanksgiving table this year at my parents' house. It is a recipe from a free handout by Dave of Dave's Specialty Foods in Mount Prospect.

• 2 lb. red potatoes, unpeeled and washed
• 1 lb. sweet potatoes, peeled and chopped
• 1 tbsp. real maple syrup
• 1 pinch salt and pepper
• 1 cup milk

Cook potatoes separately (I boiled for about 20 minutes) until each is tender. Bring milk to a boil and remove from heat.

Drain red potatoes and mash. Add milk and seasoning. Set aside.

Drain sweet potatoes, reserving 1/4 cup water. Mash and add maple syrup, water, and seasoning.

Swirl sweet potatoes into the white potatoes and serve.

I thought this was a really pretty dish. When you ate it all together, I can't say that I was able to really taste the maple syrup, but it was delicious all the same. Thanks for another good one, Dave!
