Ingredients:
- 3 1/2 baking potatoes
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 can sweet potatoes in syrup
- 1 package reduced-fat cream cheese
- 6 slices bacon
- 3/4 cup light sour cream
- 2/3 cup chicken broth
- 1/2 teaspoon pepper
Instructions:
-
Boil Potatoes: In a Dutch oven, bring the baking potatoes, 1 teaspoon of salt, and enough water to cover the potatoes to a boil. Cook for approximately 30 minutes or until the potatoes are tender.
-
Drain and Mash: Once the potatoes are cooked, drain them and return them to the Dutch oven. Add the canned sweet potatoes and reduced-fat cream cheese to the Dutch oven. Using a potato masher, mash the potatoes and sweet potatoes together until smooth and well combined.
-
Add Flavor: Stir in the cooked and crumbled bacon, light sour cream, chicken broth, pepper, and the remaining 2 teaspoons of salt. Mix everything thoroughly to ensure that the flavors are evenly distributed throughout the mashed potatoes mixture.
-
Prepare Baking Dish: Lightly grease an 11×7-inch baking dish to prevent the mashed potatoes from sticking. Spoon the mashed potatoes mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading it out evenly with a spatula.
-
Bake: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Once heated, place the baking dish with the mashed potatoes in the oven and bake, uncovered, for 20 minutes or until the top is golden brown and the edges are slightly crispy.
-
Garnish and Serve: Remove the baked sweet-and-savory mashed potatoes from the oven and garnish with additional crumbled bacon, if desired. Serve hot alongside your favorite main dishes and enjoy the delicious blend of flavors.
