3 red-skinned med. potatoes (1 lb.) cooked and drained
2 med. sweet potatoes (1 lb.), cooked and drained
2 tbsp. butter
1 egg white
1/3 tsp. onion powder
1 egg yolk
1/2 tsp. finely shredded orange peel (optional)
2 tbsp. butter, melted

PEEL ALL OF THE POTATOES. In 2 separate mixing bowls, mash the white potatoes and sweet potatoes with an electric mixer on low speed until smooth, adding 1 tablespoon of butter to each.

Beat the egg white and onion powder into white potatoes. Beat the egg yolk and orange peel into the sweet potatoes. Season both potato mixtures with salt and white pepper to taste.

Line a baking sheet with foil; spray with non-stick spray coating. Using a wooden spoon, spread about 1/4 cup of the sweet potato mixture into 2 1/2 to 3- inch nest on the foil. Repeat with the rest of the sweet potato mixture, making 8 nests total.

Spoon the white potato mixture into a pastry bag fitted with a decorative tip. Pipe white potato mixture into the center of the sweet potato nests. Loosely cover nest with plastic wrap and chill for 2-24 hours.

At serving time, drizzle the melted butter over the potato nests. Bake the nests, uncovered, in a 500 degree oven for 10-12 minutes or until golden brown. OR, broil potato nests 4 inches from the heat about 7 minutes.

Let stand for 1-2 minutes. Use a wide spatula to carefully transfer the nests to dinner plates. Yield: 4 side-dish servings.
