Ingredients | How To Keep Mashed Potatoes Creamy

1 acorn squash, halved and seeded

water as needed

5 large white potatoes, diced

2 tablespoons butter

1 tablespoon Dijon mustard

½ teaspoon dried dill weed

salt and ground black pepper to taste

½ cup milk, or as needed

Directions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Place the halved acorn squash cut-side down in a glass baking dish; add 1/2-inch water.

Bake in the preheated oven until soft and tender, about 30 minutes. Remove squash from oven; scoop out flesh.

Place potatoes in a saucepan with enough water to cover; bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer, covered, until soft and tender, about 20 minutes. Drain potatoes.

Mash potatoes partially in a large bowl; stir in squash flesh, butter, mustard, dill, salt, and pepper. Add milk gradually, mashing to desired consistency.

You can peel potatoes or leave skin on, as desired.

Substitute stone-ground mustard for the Dijon mustard, if desired.

Margarine can be used in place of butter.
