Welcome to the kitchen and introduction to the dish.

Discuss the benefits of root vegetables and their nutritional value.

Introduce the ingredients: 400 grams of sweet potatoes and 600 grams of potatoes, both organic and washed.

Peel the potatoes if desired, especially for children, or leave the skin on for more fiber.

Place the potatoes in a pot with 800 ml of cool room temperature water.

Bring the water to a boil, then reduce the heat to medium.

Cover the pot slightly and let the potatoes cook, checking the water level occasionally.

After about 10 minutes, test the potatoes for doneness; they should be slightly overcooked for easier mashing.

Add salt, black pepper, and olive oil to the cooked potatoes.

Mash the potatoes until creamy, ensuring there is enough water left for a smooth consistency.

Taste the mashed potatoes and adjust seasoning if necessary.

Serve the mashed potatoes warm, suggesting pairing with baked falafel salad and spicy sauce.
