   • Place the Yukon Gold potatoes and sweet potatoes in a large pot with enough water to cover them.
   • Bring to a boil over medium-high heat.
   • Cook for about 15 minutes, until the potatoes are tender but still firm. Drain and set aside.

2. Preheat Oven:

   • While the potatoes are cooking, preheat your oven’s broiler.

3. Mash Potatoes:

   • In a large mixing bowl, mash the cooked potatoes using a potato masher or fork until smooth.

4. Mix in Ingredients:

   • Gradually add the butter, heavy cream, chicken bouillon granules, brown sugar, and black pepper to the mashed potatoes. Mix well until all ingredients are fully incorporated.

5. Transfer to Baking Dish:

   • Transfer the mashed potato mixture into a medium-sized baking dish, spreading it out evenly.

6. Add Cheese:

   • Sprinkle the shredded Monterey Jack cheese evenly over the top of the mashed potatoes.

7. Broil the Dish:

   • Place the baking dish under the preheated broiler in the oven.
   • Broil uncovered for about 10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and lightly browned on top.

8. Serve:

   • Remove from the oven and let it cool slightly before serving.

Tips:

• Ensure the potatoes are cooked until just tender during boiling to maintain their texture after mashing.
• Adjust the amount of brown sugar and black pepper according to your taste preferences.
• For a crispier cheese topping, broil for an additional 1-2 minutes, keeping an eye to prevent burning.

Serving Suggestions:

• Enjoy these Cheesy Sweet and Savory Spuds as a side dish with roasted meats, grilled vegetables, or as part of a hearty brunch spread.
