Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Peel the potatoes and cut them into evenly sized chunks.
- Peel the pumpkin (if not pre-peeled) and remove the seeds. Cut it into cubes.
- Fill a large pot with water, and bring it to a boil.
- Add the potato chunks to the boiling water and cook for about 10-15 minutes.
- Add the pumpkin cubes to the pot with the potatoes (if they fit comfortably) and boil together for another 10 minutes, or until both potatoes and pumpkin are fork-tender. Alternatively, you can cook them separately if your pot is not large enough.
- Carefully drain the cooked potatoes and pumpkin in a colander.
- Return the drained vegetables to the pot or place them in a large mixing bowl.
- Add the sour cream to the hot potatoes and pumpkin.
- Use a potato masher or a fork to mash the mixture until smooth and creamy. If you prefer a chunkier texture, mash until you reach your desired consistency.
- Mix in the chopped chives until evenly distributed throughout the mash.
- Taste the mash and add salt and pepper as needed.
- Serve immediately while hot, garnished with extra chives if desired.
Tips:
- Ensure that the potatoes and pumpkin are cut into uniform pieces to ensure even cooking.
- Boil the vegetables in salted water to enhance their natural flavors.
- To make the mash extra creamy, you can add a little bit of butter along with the sour cream.
- Use fresh chives for the best flavor, and add them at the end to maintain their bright color and taste.
- If you prefer a smoother texture, use a potato masher or a hand mixer to achieve the desired consistency.
- Taste and adjust the seasoning at the end, adding more salt, pepper, or sour cream as per your preference.
With these simple steps, you can create a wonderful Pumpkin and Chive Mash that will undoubtedly please your family or guests. It's a healthy side dish that pairs well with many main courses, adding a touch of seasonal flavor to your meal.
