Mashed Potato Layer Bake

I found this on http://www.allrecipes.com/ - modified a little and tested it on the family = success!  The Chive and Onion cream cheese is a nice change to traditional mashed potato recipes.  Even those that don't love sweet potatoes (like me) will enjoy this dish.

4 large white potatoes, peeled, chopped and cooked

2 large sweet potatoes, peeled, chopped and cooked

1 (8 ounce) tub PHILADELPHIA Chive and Onion Cream Cheese Spread, divided

1 1/2 cup - Sour Cream, divided

1/4 teaspoon salt

1/4 teaspoon black pepper

1 cup Parmesan Cheese

1 cup Cheddar Cheese

Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Place potatoes in separate bowls. Add half each of the cream cheese and sour cream to each bowl; season with salt and pepper. Mash with potato masher or fork until creamy (I got lazy and used my kitchen aid mixer).

Stir half of the Parmesan cheese into white potatoes. Stir half of the Cheddar cheese into sweet potatoes. Alternately layer half each of the white potato and sweet potato mixture in 2-quart casserole dish (a 9 x 13 pan would've worked also - adjust cooking time). Repeat layers.

Bake15 min. Sprinkle with remaining cheeses; bake 5 more min. or until cheeses are melted.

Want a little crunch?  Add some panko/breadcrumbs to the top and bake a little longer.
