Pumpkin Mashed Potatoes

by megan on September 29, 2008

Gloria over at Cookbook Cuisine inquired the other day about the idea of pumpkin mashed potatoes. I was intrigued, so I took a peek around the internet and found several recipe options. Check them out! I will be trying one of these soon. I just don’t know which one yet. Anybody want to experiment with me?

I love to mix both in order to create unique mashed potatoes!

Cheers,

They look so yummy!! I don’t have any pumpkin in the house(shame on me!) or I would make some for dinner. Can’t wait to hear how they turn out.

I have made mashed potato with acorn squash before. Thoroughly enjoyed it. But my partner is a purist. He will only eat unadulterated white mashed potato with milk and butter. No sour cream, no cheddar,no bacon, no chives! (sigh)

The more I think about it… the more I think these would be really good :) Nice thinking Megan, I hope you’ll let us know what you think when you make them!

Pumpkin Mashed potatoes, that’s an interesting combination! I can’t wait to see how it turns out :)

Mr. Potato Head will be very happy. LOL. I vote for recipe #1 from Recipe Zaar. Thanks for the link. :)

ooh, great idea! mashed taters are that kind of food that you almost don’t want to experiment with too much, but they really are a perfect pallet!

Ooh yummy!! I might try it with sweet potato and pumpkin since that’s what I have in my kitchen! I’ll let you know if I do – can’t wait to see what YOU make, though :o )

ohh those look lovely! i’ll bet it adds some nice flavor to the potatoes. they definitely sound like they’re worth trying!!

This combination never even occurred to me. I mean, how many times have I watched “It’s the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown” and failed to realize the potential of this mash up?

Jessie September 30, 2008 at 5:36 pm

Yum! I’ve never done this, but gosh it sounds good! I’m game for trying to make some with you this week or this weekend.
