Two Mashes

We made dinner at home on Saturday and I wanted to do something special, so I made two different mashed potatoes: sesame potatoes and chipotle sweet potatoes. I had sesame potatoes the first time I ate at the Biltmore Room, and they were pretty easy to recreate at home. I used one baking potato and one all-purpose, since that's what I had, and peeled and boiled them as usual. Then I added chicken broth and mashed with a potato masher, going for a silky consistency. Drizzled in some sesame oil to taste, and added some salt and pepper (but just a little, because I really wanted sesame to be the primary flavor, which is why I didn't use milk or butter, either). For the chipotle sweets, I just mashed boiled sweet potatoes with chicken stock and added chipotle powder. The two contrasting colors looked pretty on the plate.
