- 1 medium butternut squash, peeled and seeded
- 1 small baking pumpkin (6") or 12 oz can of pumpkin puree, peeled and seeded
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 3/4 pound butter
- 4 cloves garlic , pressed
- salt and pepper, to taste
- 2 cups whole milk (or less depending on how creamy you want the potatoes)
- nutmeg to taste (optional)
- Healthier Version Substitutions
- 2 cups chicken broth for cream and broth
- 3/4 pound light butter
- Quarter the redskins and place in boiling salted water to cover. Cook about 10 minutes.
- While the potatoes are cooking, peel & seed the squash and pumpkin and chop into large (1") cubes. Add these to the potatoes after the potatoes have cooked for 10 minutes.
- Cook the vegetables until tender but not mushy. Drain the potatoes and squash. Use a potato masher to mash the vegetables.
- Add the cream, butter and spices to the potato/squash mixture. Mash until you get the consistency you prefer, adding extra whole milk to get a creamier consistency. Be careful not to turn your dish into soup.
