Sweet and Red Potato Casserole

 

5 tbsp butter or margarine, divided

2 large sweet onions, chopped

2 tsp sugar

2 1/2 lb red potatoes, peeled and cubed

2 1/2 lbs sweet potatoes, peeled and cubed

1 1/2 cup milk, divided

1/4 cup sour cream

1 1/2 tsp salt, divided

1/2 tsp pepper

Melt 1 tbsp butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add onions and sugar. Cook, stirring often, 25-30 minutes, or until onions are deep golden brown.

Meanwhile place red potatoes in enough water to cover them in a Dutch oven. Bring to a boil and reduce heat to medium. Simmer 20 minutes, or until tender. Drain. Repeat with sweet potatoes.

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Spray a 3 quart casserole with non stick spray. Beat red potatoes, at medium speed until smooth. Add 3/4 cup milk, sour cream and 2 tbsp butter. Beat until smooth. Stir in 1 tsp salt and pepper. Spoon into casserole dish.

Beat sweet potatoes until mashed. Add remaining 3/4 cup milk and remaining 2 tbsp butter. Stir in remaining 1/2 tsp salt and pepper. Beat until smooth. Spoon over red potatoes. Top with 1/2 onion mixture; mix gently to combine in a swirl pattern. Top with remaining onion mixture.

Cover, bake 25-30 minutes or until thoroughly heated.
