Tiny bits of orange potato add flavor and texture to the golden cornmeal. Preheat oven to 400ºF. In a nonstick baking pan, bake potatoes until tender, 45 min to 1 hr, depending on size and shape of potatoes. Remove potatoes and set aside until cool enough to handle. Using a spoon, scoop flesh into a bowl, and mash lightly with 1/4 C of the milk. Set aside. In a large pot, combine remaining milk, water, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Whisk in polenta. Bring mixture to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer, stirring frequently, about 20 min, until polenta is thick enough for a spoon to stand upright in it. Stir mashed potato into polenta, mixing well. Makes about 6 C. This was very tasty, quick and easy to prepare. We wouldn't hesitate to serve it to company.
