Mashed Roasted Pumpkin & Potato


Use a pie pumpkin or a baking pumpkin (rather than the jack-o-lantern variety). Bake and mash with potatoes for this vegetable side dish.



Ingredients:

  • Medium size pumpkin for baking
  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • 4 large russet potatoes
  • Cream (to reach desired consistency)
  • Butter
  • Salt
  • Pepper

Method

Halve pumpkin and scoop out pumpkin seeds with spoon. Using sharp knife peel off skin by strips--cutting down the outside. Cut pumpkin into 3" chunks, drizzle with olive oil, and season with salt and pepper. Lay onto a baking sheet and roast in 450 oven for 30-40 minutes until fork tender. Peel 4 Russet potatoes, cut into chunks and boil in large pot on stove until fork tender. Remove from water. Put equal amounts of potato and pumpkin into food processor and add just enough cream to reach desired mashed potato consistency. Add 4 pats of butter and salt and pepper to taste.

Notes: Pumpkin isn't just for pies! This mixture can be used to make the world's most delicious most wonderful pumpkin and potato pancakes the next day!
