Pumpkin Sage Mashed Potatoes Recipe For National Pumpkin Day
|
|
We enjoyed this fusion food recipe from Valentina Wein of Cooking On The Weekends. It’s perfect for National Pumpkin Day, October 26th. > Here’s another pumpkin-potato recipe: Pumpkin Cheddar Mashed Potatoes. > National Potato Day is August 19th. 1. COOK the potatoes. Fill a large pot about halfway with water. Cut the peeled potatoes into sixths, adding them directly to the water as you go. (If the water isn’t completely covering the potatoes, add more until it covers by at least one inch.) 2. COVER the pot and bring to a boil. Keeping the lid on, turn the heat to low and gently simmer the potatoes until they’re tender—when you can easily pierce them with a fork—about 20 minutes. While the potatoes are cooking… 3. ADD the butter to a large sauté pan and place it over low heat. Add the onions once the butter has melted and cook until they’re soft about 5 minutes. Stir in the sage and cook until it’s aromatic about 30 seconds. Turn off the heat and set aside. 4. WHISK the half and half in a medium-sized mixing bowl with the pumpkin, cinnamon, salt, and a few turns of pepper. Add the onion mixture and stir to blend. Set aside. 5. DRAIN the potatoes and place them in a large mixing bowl. Mash them with a large fork or a potato masher, leaving a few chunks here and there for texture. 6. FOLD in the pumpkin mixture until it’s evenly blended. Serve warm or hot. Savory Recipes |
