I don’t know about you but the weather has me officially in the fall spirit and that means fall foods, like pumpkin! I saw this easy recipe for Pumpkin Mashed Potatoes on Zen & Spice Yummly.com and had to share.
Super-creamy yellow mashed potatoes, combined with melted butter and swirls of seasoned pumpkin puree. Perfect side dish for your fall meal!
Ingredients
- 1 15-oz can pumpkin puree
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 2 teaspoon fresh thyme
- 8 yellow potatoes, diced
- 3/4 cup milk
- 4 Tablespoons butter
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/4 teaspoon pepper
Preparation
Boil the potatoes and pumpkin in a large pot of salted water until fork-tender. Drain. Mash the pumpkin and potatoes together with 1 cup of the milk, butter, nutmeg and salt and pepper. Add extra milk until you reach the desired consistency. Allow potatoes to cool completely and then put into a greased 9×13 inch pan. Wrap the pan tightly and freeze for up to 2 months. When ready to serve: Defrost overnight in the refrigerator. Bake for 30 minutes in an oven preheated to 350 degrees. Stir halfway through the baking time and add a little milk if needed.
