Instructions:
- While the garlic roasts, place the cubed potatoes and pumpkin in a large pot. Add enough water to cover the vegetables.
- Bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Reduce the heat to medium and simmer until both the potatoes and pumpkin are tender, about 15-20 minutes.
- Drain the vegetables and return them to the pot.
- Add the roasted garlic pulp, 2 tablespoons of milk, and 2 tablespoons of butter to the pot with the potatoes and pumpkin.
- Using a potato masher or an electric hand mixer, mash until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
- Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Transfer the mashed mixture to a serving bowl.
- Sprinkle the chopped fresh parsley on top for garnish.
- Serve immediately as a delightful side dish to complement your main course.
Tips:
- Roast the garlic in its skin to avoid burning and to make it easier to squeeze out the soft, sweet pulp.
- Make sure to cut the pumpkin and potatoes into even-sized pieces to ensure they cook evenly.
- For a smoother mash, you can use a potato ricer or food mill instead of mashing by hand.
- Add extra milk or butter for a creamier texture, or adjust to your preference.
- Garnish with additional fresh parsley or even a sprinkle of grated cheese for extra flavor.
