Pumpkin and Onion Mashed Potato Ingredients

400 g of potatoes;

130 g of onion;
50 g butter;
60 ml cream;
½ teaspoon ground turmeric;

The method of preparation of spiced mashed potatoes

Peel the potatoes, cut into thick circles, put in a pan with a thick bottom.

We also peel the nutmeg pumpkin, scoop out the seeds along with the seed bag with a spoon, cut the flesh into slices of medium thickness. Add the chopped pumpkin to the potato pan. We put the pan on the stove, pour 1.5-2 liters of boiling water, after boiling, cook over low heat for 20-25 minutes, until the vegetables for mashed potatoes with pumpkin become soft. No salt needed.

In the meantime, while the vegetables are boiling, prepare the onion. Cut a large onion into small cubes. In a pan greased with vegetable oil, put a tablespoon of butter, then onion, sprinkle it with a pinch of salt. Cook the onion on moderate heat for about 15 minutes.

We discard boiled vegetables on a sieve. It is necessary that water is completely glass, otherwise the mashed potatoes will turn out to be liquidish.

We return the vegetables to the pan, add the fried onions along with the oil in which it was cooked.

Knead vegetables with a crush. I do not advise using a blender to prepare mashed potatoes, in which most of the potatoes are. A blender turns boiled potatoes into a paste, and if it is not noticeable, and sometimes appropriate, in a mashed soup, then a mashed potato that looks like a paste is at least tasteless. For mashed potatoes there are special presses, various pushers, in a pinch there is always a fork or a metal sieve.

Pour the cream into a stewpan, pour salt to taste, add the remaining butter and ground turmeric. We put the stewpan on the stove, heat the contents to a boil.

Pour boiling cream into a pan with vegetables. By the way, the cream in the recipe for mashed potatoes with pumpkin and onions can be replaced with baked milk, its taste is very good for this dish.

Rub the nutmeg on a fine grater, you need just a little bit, how to pepper. Then mix thoroughly the mashed potatoes, you can whip with a mixer to get fluffy.

Spiced mashed potatoes with pumpkin and onions ready. Serve hot on a side dish to a meat dish. Bon appetit, prepare a simple meal of healthy foods.

By the way, it’s always easy to make delicious meatballs for breakfast from the remains of mashed potatoes. Add 1-2 tablespoons of wheat flour, a raw egg, mix and fry until golden brown on both sides in heated vegetable oil.
