Steps:

  • Halve 1 large unpeeled butternut squash (about 3 pounds) and cut into thick wedges, discarding the seeds. Toss with olive oil and roast at 400 degrees F until soft, 35 to 45 minutes. Remove the skin. Puree the squash with 3 tablespoons butter; season with salt. Warm a few tablespoons of maple syrup with a pinch of cayenne pepper; drizzle over the mash.
  • Use a food processor or immersion blender to puree these veggies-they're too fibrous for a potato masher.

BUTTERNUT SQUASH MASHED POTATOES



Butternut Squash Mashed Potatoes image

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!

Tips:

  • Choose the right squash: Look for butternut squash that is firm and has a deep orange color. Avoid squash that is bruised or has soft spots.
  • Roast the squash before mashing it: Roasting the squash brings out its natural sweetness and flavor. Plus, it makes the squash easier to mash.
  • Use a potato masher or ricer: A potato masher or ricer will give you a smooth and creamy mash. Avoid using a blender or food processor, as these will make the mash too gluey.
  • Add butter, milk, and seasonings to taste: Butter and milk will make the mash rich and creamy. Season the mash with salt, pepper, and other herbs and spices to taste.
  • Serve the mash immediately: Butternut squash and potato mash is best served immediately after it is made. However, you can also make it ahead of time and reheat it gently before serving.

Conclusion:

Butternut squash and potato mash is a delicious and versatile side dish that can be served with a variety of meals. It is a great way to use up leftover butternut squash, and it is also a good source of vitamins and minerals.
