Time 1h30m

Yield Makes six to eight servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

Ingredients

1 pound sweet potatoes, scrubbed
1 pound pumpkin, seeds removed
2 tart apples, such as Granny Smith or Braeburn
2 tablespoons lime juice
5 tablespoons plain Greek-style yogurt
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
2 tablespoons maple syrup
Pinch of salt
Pinch of freshly grated nutmeg

Steps:

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Scrub sweet potatoes, and pierce in several places with a sharp knife. Pierce the apples in a few places. Line a baking sheet with foil, lightly oil the foil, and place the potatoes, pumpkin (cut side down) and apples on top. Bake the pumpkin and apples for 30 to 40 minutes, until a knife can easily be inserted right to the core of the apples (it's fine if the skin pops off the apples, or if they collapse) and the pumpkin is soft. Remove the pumpkin and apples from the oven. Continue to bake the sweet potatoes until thoroughly soft and beginning to ooze, 15 minutes or longer, depending on the size. Remove from the heat, and allow to cool until you can handle them easily.
Turn the oven down to 350 degrees. Remove the skins from the potatoes and pumpkin. Peel and core the apples, and scrape off any apple flesh that adheres to the skin. Chop everything coarsely, and place in a food processor fitted with the steel blade. Puree until smooth. Add the remaining ingredients, and blend well. Transfer to a lightly buttered 2-quart baking dish.
Heat the puree in the 350-degree oven for 20 minutes, or until steaming. Serve hot.

PUMPKIN POTATO PUREE

Pumpkin Potato Puree image

This side dish of silky mashed potatoes sweetened with pumpkin (left over from Pumpkin Muffins), seasoned with fresh sage, and laced with melty strands of Fontina cheese is full of favorite autumnal flavors. But, surprisingly, it's the cider vinegar that really makes this dish sing-just a tablespoon of this stealth ingredient adds a roundness that ties the whole dish together. We love it with pork chops or turkey cutlets.

Yield Makes 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

Ingredients

1 1/2 pound large boiling potatoes
1/2 stick unsalted butter, cut into pieces
1 cup canned pure pumpkin
3/4 cup whole milk, warmed
1/4 pound Italian Fontina cheese, diced (about 1 cup)
1 1/2 teaspoon finely chopped sage
1 tablespoon cider vinegar
1/4 teaspoon grated nutmeg

Steps:

Peel potatoes and cut into 1-inch pieces, then put in a 3-quart saucepan with 2 teaspoon salt and enough cold water to cover by 1 inch. Simmer, uncovered, until tender, about 15 minutes.
Drain potatoes, then return to pot. Add butter and mash with a potato masher. Stir in pumpkin, warm milk, cheese, sage, vinegar, nutmeg, and 1/4 teaspoon each of salt and pepper.

Tips:

Choose the right pumpkin: Look for a sugar pumpkin or butternut squash, as they have a sweet, mild flavor that pairs well with potatoes.
Roast the pumpkin and potatoes: Roasting brings out the natural sweetness of the vegetables and caramelizes the edges, adding depth of flavor.
Use a food processor or blender: This will help you achieve a smooth and creamy puree.
Season to taste: Add salt, pepper, and other spices to taste. You can also add a dollop of sour cream or a sprinkle of chopped fresh herbs for extra flavor.

Conclusion:

Pumpkin potato puree is a delicious and versatile side dish that can be enjoyed with a variety of meals. It is also a great way to use up leftover pumpkin puree. With its creamy texture and slightly sweet flavor, this puree is sure to be a hit with everyone at your table.
