Steps:

• 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.
