Categories     Food & Cooking     Healthy Recipes     Gluten-Free Recipes

Time 1h20m

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 pounds Yukon Gold potatoes, peeled and cut into 2-inch pieces (5 cups)
1 head garlic, halved lengthwise
Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper
3 pounds pumpkin or orange-fleshed squash, such as calabaza, peeled and cut into 2-inch pieces (8 cups)
1/2 stick unsalted butter
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
1 medium yellow onion, coarsely chopped (2 cups)
2 bunches rainbow Swiss chard (1 1/2 pounds total), leaves and stems separated, leaves cut into 2-inch pieces
1/2 cup whole milk
Pinch of freshly grated nutmeg

Steps:

  • Cover potatoes and garlic with 2 inches water in a large pot. Bring to a boil; season with salt. Reduce heat to medium and simmer 5 minutes. Add pumpkin and simmer until just tender, about 15 minutes. Remove garlic; drain.
  • Add butter and oil to pot and heat until butter melts. Add onion and chard stems; cook, stirring occasionally, until onion is translucent, about 8 minutes. Add chard leaves, milk, and nutmeg; season with salt and pepper. Simmer, partly covered, just until chard is tender, about 3 minutes.
  • Remove from heat and stir in potatoes and pumpkin, smashing lightly with the back of a spoon but leaving some larger pieces. Season with salt and pepper; serve.

Tips:

  • Choose the right potatoes: Russet potatoes are the best choice for mashed potatoes because they are starchy and fluffy. You can also use Yukon Gold or red potatoes, but they will be denser.
  • Cook the potatoes until they are very tender: This will ensure that they are smooth and creamy when mashed.
  • Drain the potatoes well: This will help to prevent the mashed potatoes from being watery.
  • Mash the potatoes with a potato masher or ricer: This will help to create a smooth and lump-free texture.
  • Add milk, butter, and seasonings to taste: You can also add other ingredients, such as cheese, sour cream, or chives.
  • Serve the mashed potatoes immediately: They are best when served hot.

Conclusion:

Pumpkin mashed potatoes are a delicious and festive side dish that is perfect for Thanksgiving or any other fall gathering. They are easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste. With a few simple tips, you can make the perfect pumpkin mashed potatoes that your family and friends will love.
