It works. Or at least, I like it. Making the mash for this with just sweet potatoes would be *too much*. This was about half and half.

![Facebook post from The New York Times:
For decades, the flags of the 190 or so countries with which the U.S. maintains diplomatic
relations have hung above the State Department's main atrium. Today, however, they are gone.
Each one has been replaced by an American flag, forming a red, white and blue row perhaps 100
feet long in what could be the highest density of stars and stripes anywhere outside a flag factory.
The change has touched a nerve in diplomatic circles, where many State Department veterans call
it an embarrassing symbol of the Trump administration's showy brand of nationalism.
