Golden mashed potatoes with nutty sweetness from acorn squash, hints of mustard and dill.
Ingredients:
  • 1 acorn squash, halved and seeded
  • water as needed
  • 5 large white potatoes, diced
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 0.5 teaspoon dried dill weed
  • salt and ground black pepper to taste
  • 0.5 cup milk, or as needed
Instructions:
  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) and place halved acorn squash cut-side down in a glass baking dish with 1/2-inch of water.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for about 30 minutes until squash is soft and tender. Then, remove from oven and scoop out the flesh.
  • In a saucepan, cover the potatoes with water and bring to a boil. Lower the heat and simmer with the lid on until the potatoes are soft and tender, about 20 minutes. Drain the potatoes.
  • In a large bowl, mash the potatoes partially, then mix in the squash flesh, butter, mustard, dill, salt, and pepper. Gradually add milk and continue mashing until reaching desired consistency.
