Yellow and Purple Mashed Potatoes

Purple mashed potatoes? Yes! These are such an unusual treat, who can resist trying them?

Ingredients

• 1 pound purple potatoes, scrubbed
• 1 pound Yukon Gold potatoes, scrubbed
• 2 cups milk
• 1 stick butter
• 2 tablespoons minced fresh garlic
• salt and ground black pepper to taste
• 0.5 cup chopped green onions
• 0.25 cup crumbled feta cheese

Steps

1. Peel and cube purple and Yukon Gold potatoes, keeping them separate.
2. Place each type of potato in a large pot and cover with salted water; bring both pots to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer until tender, 10 to 15 minutes. Drain. Return to individual pots and mash.
3. Meanwhile, heat milk in a saucepan over low heat, stirring continually until hot; do not scald. Mix in butter, garlic, salt, and pepper; stir until butter is melted and garlic is fragrant, about 2 minutes. Remove from the heat. Pour 1/2 of the milk-butter mixture into each pot of mashed potatoes and stir to combine.
4. Scoop both potato mixtures into a large serving bowl. Very gently stir the potatoes together for a swirl effect without totally combining them. Sprinkle with green onion and feta and serve.
