  • Prep Time 30 minutes
  • Total Time 1 hour
  • Yield Serves 10

Ingredients

    • 4 pounds Yukon gold potatoes, peeled and halved (or quartered, if large)
    • 1 small butternut squash (2 pounds), peeled, seeded, and cut into 2-inch chunks (6 cups)
    • Coarse salt and ground pepper
    • 6 tablespoons butter
    • 2 garlic cloves, minced
    • 1 cup half-and-half

Directions

  1. In a large pot, combine potatoes and squash; cover with salted water by 1 inch. Bring to a boil; reduce heat, and simmer until potatoes and squash are easily pierced with the tip of a paring knife, about 20 minutes.
  2. Drain in a large colander; return potatoes and squash to the pot. Stir over medium heat until dry, 2 to 3 minutes. Remove from heat.
  3. In a small saucepan, melt butter over medium heat; add garlic, and cook until fragrant, about 2 minutes. Add half-and-half; bring to a simmer. Pour over potatoes and squash; season generously with salt and pepper. Mash with a potato masher until smooth and creamy. Serve immediately.
