Ingredients

For the casseroles:

  • 4 pounds russet or Yukon Gold potatoes peeled and cubed
  • water to taste
  • 3 pounds sweet potatoes peeled and cubed
  • 2 (8-ounce) cartons spreadable chive and onion cream cheese divided
  • 1 cup sour cream divided
  • 1/4 cup Colby Jack cheese shredded
  • 1/3 cup 2% milk
  • 1/4 cup parmesan cheese shredded
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper

For the topping:

  • 1 cup Colby Jack cheese shredded
  • 1/4 cup parmesan cheese shredded
  • 1/2 cup green onions chopped

Directions

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
  • In a Dutch oven, add the russet potatoes and enough of the water to just cover them.
  • Grease two 7x11-inch or 9x13-inch baking dishes.
  • In a large saucepan, add the sweet potatoes and enough of the water to just cover them.
  • Place the Dutch oven and the saucepan on the stovetop and bring them both to a boil.
  • Reduce the heat to medium-low for both and cover them.
  • Cook until the russet potatoes and the sweet potatoes are both tender, about 10-15 minutes.
  • Drain the sweet potatoes.
  • Add 1 carton of the cream cheese, 1/2 cup of the sour cream, and 1/4 cup of the Colby Jack cheese to the sweet potatoes and mash to combine.
  • Drain the russet potatoes.
  • Add the remaining cream cheese and the remaining sour cream to the russet potatoes and mash to combine.
  • Add the milk, 1/4 cup of the parmesan cheese, the salt, and the black pepper to the russet potatoes and stir gently to combine.
  • Add 1 1/3 cups of the russet potato mixture to each of the prepared baking dishes, spreading it out evenly in each dish.
  • Layer 1/2 of the sweet potato mixture into each prepared baking dish, spreading it out evenly.
  • Repeat the layers using 1 1/3 cups of the remaining russet potato mixture and the remaining sweet potato mixture.
  • Top the layers in each baking dish with an even amount of the remaining russet potato mixture.
  • Bake both casseroles, uncovered, until heated through, about 15 minutes.
  • In a bowl, add the remaining Colby Jack cheese and the remaining parmesan cheese.
  • Sprinkle the topping mixture evenly over both of the casseroles.
  • Bake until the cheese on top is melted, about 2-3 minutes.
  • Garnish with the green onions and serve hot.
