BUTTERNUT SQUASH MASHED POTATOES

DH and I made this as a side last night to our veal chops and both of us LOVED this dish!! The recipe comes from the October issue of "Philadelphia" magazine and is credited to a local restaurant named Fork. Note that we used red skin potatoes as that is what we had on hand and we thought it turned out great (though that many small potatoes were a pain to remove the skin from). We also used two foil-lined baking sheets: one for potatoes, one for squash since they had different cooking times. Enjoy!

Time 1h20m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 lbs butternut squash, peeled, seeded, cut into 1-inch cubes
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 tablespoon kosher salt
black pepper, to taste
2 lbs idaho potatoes
4 tablespoons salted butter
1/2 cup heavy cream

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
  • Toss squash with olive oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper.
  • Spread on a baking sheet lined with aluminum foil.
  • Transfer to oven along with whole potatoes and roast until tender, 30-40 minutes for squash; 45 minutes to 1 hour for potatoes.
  • Stir squash cubes occasionally to avoid browning on sides.
  • When fork-tender, split potatoes down middle and scoop out insides. Discard skins.
  • Combine potatoes with squash in a bowl.
  • Meanwhile melt butter with cream in a small saucepan. Pour mixture over vegetables.
  • Add salt and pepper to taste and mash with a hand masher.

Tips:

  • Choose the right squash: Look for butternut squash that is firm and heavy for its size. Avoid squash with blemishes or soft spots.
  • Roast the squash: Roasting the squash brings out its natural sweetness and makes it easier to mash. You can roast the squash whole or in halves.
  • Cook the potatoes: While the squash is roasting, cook the potatoes until they are tender. You can boil them, steam them, or roast them.
  • Mash the squash and potatoes: Once the squash and potatoes are cooked, mash them together until they are smooth. You can use a potato masher, a food processor, or a stand mixer.
  • Add flavorings: Once the squash and potatoes are mashed, add your desired flavorings. This could include butter, milk, cream, salt, pepper, garlic, herbs, or spices.
  • Serve immediately: Butternut squash mashed potatoes are best served immediately. However, they can be reheated in the oven or microwave.
