How to Make Mashed Sweet And Russet Potatoes With Herbs

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Position oven racks in the center and lower third.
  2. Wrap 2 cloves of garlic in a small piece of foil. Drizzle with 1 teaspoon olive oil. Fold to form a packet, crimping edges to seal.
  3. Prick 1 large sweet potato (about 1 pound) and 2 medium russet potatoes (about 1.5 pounds) several times with a fork.
  4. Place the garlic packet and sweet potatoes on the center rack. Place a baking sheet on the lower rack to catch any drips.
  5. Bake for 25 minutes, then turn the sweet potatoes. Continue baking until very tender when pierced with a knife (about 45 minutes total).
  6. Remove sweet potatoes and garlic from the oven. Add the russet potatoes to the center rack.
  7. Bake the russet potatoes until very tender, about 15 more minutes.
  8. Remove potatoes and garlic from the oven. Let cool for 5 minutes.
  9. Peel and then pass the sweet potatoes and russet potatoes through a ricer or food mill into a medium bowl.
  10. Squeeze the roasted garlic from its skins into the bowl with the potatoes.
  11. Stir in 4 tablespoons (1/2 stick) unsalted butter, 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley, 1 tablespoon chopped fresh sage, 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1/4 teaspoon black pepper, and 1/4 cup plain Greek yogurt.
  12. Stir until well combined.
  13. Serve immediately and enjoy!
