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!

I can't wait to try this recipe with other types of squash, like acorn squash or kabocha squash.

I'm not a huge fan of butternut squash, but this recipe changed my mind. The squash flavor was subtle and perfectly complemented the potatoes.

The flavors in this dish were just perfect - not too sweet, not too savory. And the texture was so smooth and velvety.
