    2 large  Idaho potatoes, peeled and cut into 1" cubes
    8 oz.  smoked Gouda cheese, shredded
    1 c.  cream, divided
    8 Tb.  butter, divided
    2 tsp.  salt, divided
    2 large  sweet potatoes
    1 tsp.  smoked paprika

Place Idaho potatoes in a large saucepan with enough lightly salted water to cover. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 10-15 minutes, or until potatoes feel tender when pierced with a wooden skewer. Drain and return to pan.

Add gouda cheese, 1/2 cup cream, 4 Tb. butter and 1 tsp. salt. With a handheld potato masher, mash potatoe. If a thinner consistency is desired, add more cream, 1 Tb. at a time.

Pierce sweet potatoes with a fork; place on paper towels in a microwave oven. Microwave on high for 8 minutes, or until tender, rearranging potatoes after 4 minutes. Let stand for 5 minutes.

Peel sweet potatoes and mash. Add remaining 1/2 c. cream, 4 Tb. butter, 1 tsp. salt and smoked paprika, stirring until blended.

Spoon sweet potato mixture nest to mashed potato mixture in a casserole or serving dish, swirling with a spoon. (Do not blend in completely.)
