Pink Potatoes

4 medium size white potatoes
1 medium size sweet potato
1-3 garlic cloves, peeled
4 tablespoons butter or margarine
Salt and pepper to taste

Scrub and peel the potatoes and cut them into to 2- inch chunks. Place the potatoes and the garlic cloves in a saucepan; add water until it covers the potatoes. Set pan over high heat and bring to a boil. Boil for 10-12 minutes, until a fork slides easily through the potatoes. Drain potatoes, reserving 3/4 cup of the cooking liquid.

Mash the cooked potatoes and garlic with a potato masher. Add butter or margarine, and reserved liquid 1/4 cup at a time, until potatoes are a creamy, whipped consistency.

Serves 4-6.
