Zebra Potatoes

  Here's an idea for dressing up mashed potatoes (or maybe, for getting more vegetables into your kids):

Make mashed potatoes your usual way.  Also, mash sweet potatoes or yams.  If you wish, sweeten them with a little orange juice or cinnamon.  Put the 2 kinds of potatoes into a heat-proof glass bowl or a baking pan, in stripes or alternating layers.  Swirl them together a little with a table knife.  Attractive-looking, aren't they?  (And no gravy needed)
