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: For the best mashed potatoes, use a starchy potato variety, such as Yukon Gold or Russet potatoes.
  • Cook the potatoes properly: To ensure that the potatoes are cooked evenly, cut them into uniform pieces and bring them to a boil, then reduce the heat and simmer until they are tender.
  • Drain the potatoes thoroughly: Once the potatoes are cooked, drain them well to remove any excess water. This will help to prevent the mashed potatoes from becoming watery.
  • Use a potato ricer: A potato ricer is the best tool for creating smooth and fluffy mashed potatoes. If you don't have a potato ricer, you can use a food mill or a fine-mesh sieve.
  • Add the milk and butter gradually: When adding the milk and butter to the potatoes, do so gradually and mix well after each addition. This will help to prevent the mashed potatoes from becoming lumpy.
  • Season to taste: Once the mashed potatoes are mixed, season them to taste with salt, pepper, and other desired seasonings, such as garlic powder, onion powder, or fresh herbs.

Conclusion:

With these tips in mind, you can create delicious and creamy pumpkin mashed potatoes that are perfect for any occasion. Whether you are serving them as a side dish for a holiday meal or as a comforting weeknight dinner, these mashed potatoes are sure to be a hit. So, grab your ingredients and get started!
