How to Make Mashed Potato And Sweet Potato Casserole

  1. Preheat oven to 175°C (350°F). Grease a 9x13 inch oven-proof dish.
  2. Peel and chop 1 kg (2.2 lbs) russet potatoes and 500g (1.1 lbs) sweet potatoes into roughly 1-inch pieces. Boil in salted water until tender (about 15-20 minutes).
  3. Drain the potatoes thoroughly and return them to the pot.
  4. Add 120ml (1/2 cup) hot milk, 50g (1/4 cup) butter, and 1/4 teaspoon salt. Mash until smooth and creamy. You can use a potato masher, ricer, or electric mixer.
  5. Stir in 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg, 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves, and a pinch of ground ginger.
  6. Pour the mixture into the prepared dish. Bake for 60-90 minutes, or until golden brown and heated through. Let cool slightly before serving.
