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.

SERVES 4 (change servings and units)

Ingredients

2 cups potatoes, cut into 1 inch cubes
2 cups pumpkin, cut into 1 inch cubes
1/2 medium onion, small dice
2 slices Canadian bacon, small dice
cooking spray
2-4 tablespoons evaporated skim milk
1-2 tablespoon butter (optional)

Directions

1
In a large sauce pan cover potatoes and pumpkin with water. Bring to boil and simmer until potatoes are tender, 6-10 minutes.
2
While potato/pumpkins are cooking. Sauté 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.
3
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.
4
Mix in the onions & bacon.
5
Serve.

We loved these mashed potatoes with an pumpkin twist! I used regular low sodium bacon and vadalia onion puree. Yummy is the best description! Thanks for posting Toni!

Love it - we had a pumpkin left over from Halloween - that my husband painted rather than carve so I made this today - the family loves it!

great recipe, it tasted great even without the onion and the bacon. I even substituted evaporated skim milk with regular 0% milk. It still tasted great. thanks for posting.

This one'es been sitting in my saved recipes for a while now, so I decided to give it a try in conjunction with a dinner to welcome the Fall season. Everyone was very skeptical at first. Even my dad insisted that I had to go and buy a box in instant mashed potatoes, in case everyone didn't like these. Let me tell you...we didn't need them. Everyone loved these potatoes. This is definently a keeper!
