Pumpkin Potato Puree image

This side dish of silky mashed potatoes sweetened with pumpkin (left over from Pumpkin Muffins), seasoned with fresh sage, and laced with melty strands of Fontina cheese is full of favorite autumnal flavors. But, surprisingly, it's the cider vinegar that really makes this dish sing-just a tablespoon of this stealth ingredient adds a roundness that ties the whole dish together. We love it with pork chops or turkey cutlets.

This puree was a bit too sweet for my taste. I would recommend using less sugar or honey.

I found this puree to be a bit too thick. I would recommend adding some milk or broth to thin it out.

I'm not a big fan of pumpkin, but I really enjoyed this puree. It was creamy and flavorful, and the potato balanced out the sweetness of the pumpkin perfectly.
