Because I have regular potatoes from a previous week. I decided to make some fab Half and Half Mashed Sweet Potatoes today.

INGREDIENTS:

From the Box:

1 cup Sweet Potatoes (cut into 1/2 ” cubes)

1 cup Regular Potatoes (cut into 1/2″ cubes) (from a previous box)

2 TBLS Cilantro roughly chopped

Steam rises from the cooked potatoes. (Sweet and regular)

3 TBLS Half and Half

2. Removed from heat and mash.

3. Add Butter and Half and Half and whisk.

4. Add Cilantro.
