Equipment

  • potato masher

Ingredients

  • 1 butternut squash (about 2 lbs.)
  • 4 Tbsp. olive oil
  • Salt and black pepper
  • About 1 quart of your favorite mashed potatoes

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 375˚F. Line a sheet pan with foil or parchment paper and set aside.
  • Cut squash in half lengthwise and scrape out seeds.
  • Drizzle each cut side with 1 Tbsp. olive oil and sprinkle with salt and black pepper. Place the squash cut-side down on lined sheet pan, and roast for about 45 minutes or until the skin pierces easily and flesh is very soft. Remove from oven.
  • Carefully remove hot flesh from skin and place in a medium mixing bowl. Add about 2 Tbsp. olive oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Mash with a fork or potato masher until smooth.
  • Add mashed potatoes to mashed squash and fold together until mixture looks “marbled.”
