Categories     Side Dish

Time 45m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 7

1.5 lbs butternut squash (approximate)
4 garlic cloves (whole and unpeeled)
1 tbsp olive oil
1.5 lbs potatoes (I used Yukon gold)
1/4 cup nonfat chicken broth (vegetable broth or milk, may need more)
2 tbsp butter (room temperature, or ghee)
Salt and pepper

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.
  • Toss the squash and whole garlic cloves with the olive oil, salt, and pepper. Lay flat on a baking sheet. Roast for 25 minutes or until tender with some browned spots. Remove the skin from the roasted garlic cloves.
  • Meanwhile, add the potatoes to a pot and cover with cold water. Bring to a boil and then turn down to a simmer. Cook for 18-22 minutes until potatoes are fork tender. Drain the potatoes, shaking out the excess water.
  • For a super creamy mash: Add the butternut squash and roasted garlic to a food processor or blender and blend until smooth and creamy. Mash the potatoes, broth, and butter using a hand masher or rice mill. Add extra broth if needed. Then stir in the pureed butternut squash.
  • For a more rustic mash: Use a hand mash to mash together the butternut squash, potatoes, garlic, broth, and butter to reach your desired texture.

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!

Yield Makes 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 5

Nonstick vegetable oil spray
1 2-pound butternut squash, halved, seeded
1 pound russet potatoes, peeled, cut into 1-inch pieces
3 garlic cloves, peeled
4 tablespoons finely grated Gruyère cheese (about 1 ounce)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350°F. Spray baking sheet with nonstick spray. Place squash halves, cut side down, on prepared sheet. Bake until squash is very tender when pierced with fork, about 1 hour. Scoop out squash pulp; transfer to bowl and mash until almost smooth.
  • Meanwhile, cook potatoes and garlic in large saucepan of boiling salted water until potatoes are very tender, about 20 minutes. Drain. Return potato mixture to saucepan and mash until almost smooth. Add squash and mash to blend well. Stir in 3 tablespoons cheese. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Transfer mashed vegetable mixture to 9-inch-diameter glass pie dish. Sprinkle with remaining 1 tablespoon cheese. (Can be prepared 1 day ahead. Cover and refrigerate.)
  • Preheat oven to 450#&176;F. Bake vegetable mixture until heated through, about 15 minutes if at room temperature or 25 minutes if chilled. Serve hot.

Tips:

  • Choose the right potatoes: Yukon Gold or Russet potatoes are best for mashed potatoes because they have a fluffy texture and absorb flavor well.
  • Roast the butternut squash before adding it to the potatoes: Roasting the squash intensifies its flavor and makes it easier to mash.
  • Use chicken or vegetable broth instead of water: This will give the mashed potatoes a richer flavor.
  • Add a little bit of butter or cream: This will make the mashed potatoes more creamy and delicious.
  • Mash the potatoes and squash until they are smooth: Lumpy mashed potatoes are not as appealing.
  • Season the mashed potatoes to taste: Salt, pepper, and garlic powder are all good options.
  • Serve the mashed potatoes immediately: They are best when they are hot and fluffy.

Conclusion:

Mashed potatoes and butternut squash is a delicious and comforting dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal or a special occasion. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. With a few simple tips, you can make the best mashed potatoes and butternut squash that you have ever tasted.
