How to Make Baked Sweet And Savory Mashed Potatoes

Peel and chop 2 lbs russet potatoes and 1 lb sweet potatoes into roughly 1-inch pieces.
In a large Dutch oven, combine potatoes, 1 teaspoon salt, and enough water to cover.
Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce heat to medium-low and simmer for 20-25 minutes, or until potatoes are easily pierced with a fork.
Drain the potatoes thoroughly.
Return the potatoes to the Dutch oven. Add 4 ounces cream cheese, and 1/4 cup milk or cream.
Mash until smooth using a potato masher or electric mixer.
Stir in 4 slices cooked and crumbled bacon, 1/4 cup chopped green onions, 2 tablespoons butter, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper and the remaining 2 teaspoons salt.
Spoon the mixture into a lightly greased 11x7-inch baking dish.
Bake, uncovered, at 350°F (175°C) for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown and heated through.
Garnish with extra crumbled bacon and green onions, if desired.
