Mashed Pumpkin Potatoes
This is my personal rendition on a favorite from quebec. the addition of pumpkin to ordinary mashed potatoes gives them an nice earthiness that goes well with roasted poultry or other autumnal fare. i have not tried it with canned pumpkin but will experiment eventually. though i don't cook much with butter, you should feel free to add some more to suit your taste.
Steps
In a large sauce pan cover potatoes and pumpkin with water.
Bring to boil and simmer until potatoes are tender , 6-10 minutes.
While potato / pumpkins are cooking.
Saut onions and canadian bacon in a non-stick pan prepared with a bit of cooking spray about 3-4 minutes.
Onions should should be tender and golden.
If the pan gets dry while cooking , sprinkle a bit of water into the pan.
Drain potatoes and pumpkin and return to pan.
Lower heat to the lowest flame possible.
Mash by with a potato masher , mixer or immersion blender.
Add milk and butter to thin a bit and make mash creamier.
