SCALLOPED YUKON GOLD AND SWEET POTATO GRATIN

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400°F.
• Add the ½ stick of butter to a sauce pan over medium heat and melt. Add the garlic and allow to simmer for 1 minute. Add the cream and herbs to the pan and bring to a simmer. Remove the cream mixture from the heat and set aside.
• Peel, then slice the potatoes and sweet potatoes into 1/4-inch-thick rounds. Add the potatoes to a large mixing bowl and toss with salt and pepper.
• With a tablespoon of butter, grease a 13x9x2-inch baking dish. Arrange sliced potatoes in rows overlapping in the pan and alternating between the two potato types.
• Pour the cream mixture over the potatoes, pressing lightly to submerge the potatoes into the liquid.
• Sprinkle on the cheese, cover with tin foil and bake for 40 minutes. Then uncover and bake until top of gratin is golden and most of liquid is absorbed, about 10-15 minutes longer. Let stand 10 minutes then serve.

YUKON GOLD & SWEET POTATO MASH

Steps:

• 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.

REALLY CREAMY POTATO PURéE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• On a parchment-lined sheet pan, arrange the potatoes in an even layer. Bake the potatoes until tender, about 45 minutes. Let the potatoes cool slightly until able to be handled but still hot. Peel the potatoes.
• Add one potato at a time to a ricer and rice the potatoes into a pot. Add the warm cream to the potatoes and some pieces of butter. Whisk until smooth. Continue to add most of the remaining butter, whisking piece by piece, reserving 1 to 2 tablespoons to finish. Season the potatoes with salt.
• Fill a small Dutch oven with hot water to warm it up. Dump the water and transfer the potatoes to the pot. Top with the remaining butter and garnish with chives.

PUREED POTATOES, GOLD AND SWEET

Steps:

• Cover the sweet and Yukon gold potatoes with water and bring to a boil. Simmer for 20 minutes or until just tender. Drain the potatoes and return them to the saucepan, over low heat. With a potato masher, puree the sweet and regular potatoes with the butter or cream or broth if you are on a diet. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Here too, you can zap up the adults' portion. Remove half of the kids portion and leave it plain; add to the adults' version either grated orange zest, fresh horseradish or your own favorite seasoning.

YUKON GOLD AND SWEET POTATOES ANNA

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Cut Yukon Gold and sweet potatoes into 1/8-inch-thick slices with a handheld slicer or sharp knife, keeping potato varieties separate.
• Brush an ovenproof 9- or 10-inch nonstick skillet with some butter. Starting in center of pan, arrange about 20 Yukon Gold slices, slightly overlapping, in a circular pattern, covering surface. Brush with butter and generously season with salt and pepper. Make next layer with sweet-potato slices; brush with butter and season. Repeat, alternating colors. Drizzle remaining butter on top of potatoes.
• Cook potatoes over medium-high heat until butter vigorously bubbles in pan, about 4 minutes. Transfer to oven and bake 30 minutes. Tent loosely with foil and continue to bake until potatoes are easily pierced with a knife, about 20 minutes more. Remove from oven, and run a heatproof flexible spatula around edges of potatoes to loosen. Let cool; carefully invert onto a plate, cut into wedges, and serve.
