Yellow and Purple Mashed Potatoes blend Yukon Golds with vibrant purple spuds for a buttery, garlicky mash that’s as striking as it is comforting. A swirl of the two colors is finished with fresh green onions and briny feta, adding brightness and a hint of tang. Ideal for a dinner table side when you want flavor and color to stand out.

1

Peel and cut the purple potatoes and the Yukon Gold potatoes into cubes, keeping them in separate groups.
2

Put each type of potato into its own large pot and cover with salted water; bring both pots to a boil. Lower the heat to medium-low and cook at a simmer until tender, 10 to 15 minutes. Drain. Return to their individual pots and mash.
3

Meanwhile, warm the milk in a saucepan over low heat, stirring constantly until hot; do not let it scald. Stir in the butter, garlic, salt, and pepper; continue stirring until the butter melts and the garlic is fragrant, about 2 minutes. Take off the heat. Pour half of the milk-butter mixture into each pot of mashed potatoes and stir to combine.
4

Spoon both potato mixtures into a large serving bowl. Very gently fold the potatoes together to create a swirl effect without fully mixing them. Sprinkle with green onion and feta and serve.
