Number Of Ingredients 8

1 acorn squash, halved and seeded
water as needed
5 large white potatoes, diced
2 tablespoons butter
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
½ teaspoon dried dill weed
salt and ground black pepper to taste

I followed the recipe exactly and my mashed potatoes turned out lumpy. I don't know what I did wrong.

These mashed potatoes were a bit bland. I had to add a lot of salt and pepper to make them taste good.
