These aren't sweet but they're nicely spiced and quite delicious.

Harvest Mashed Potatoes

4 large red or russet potatoes (2 pounds)
2 medium-size sweet potatoes (1½ pounds)
1/4 cup butter or margarine
1/2 cup milk
1/4 cup sour cream
1/4 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
1 T. prepared horseradish
1/4 t. salt
1/4 t. pepper
1/4 t. ground cinnamon
1/4 t. ground nutmeg

Bake sweet potatoes until tender, peel and mash. Cook russet potatoes (cut
large ones in half) in a Dutch oven in boiling salted water to cover until
tender; peel and mash or press through ricer and combine with sweet
potatoes. Add 1/2 cup butter and next 8 ingredients; mash with a potato
masher or mix with electric mixer until smooth. Bake until heated through
and starting to brown on top. (This recipe assumes you're putting this in a
large casserole dish to bake it.) Serve topped with additional Parmesan
cheese if desired. Yield: 8 servings.
