Notes
- The size of your diced potato vs pumpkin is basically 1:2, whatever size you chop your potato, make the pumpkin roughly twice the size. I find this is an easy way to get them all cooked evenly at the same time. The cooking times I have mentioned in this recipe are for the size dice I have specified - the bigger your dice the more time you will need.
- If you have read any of my previous mashed potato recipes, you will probably remember that I have no problem microwaving my finished mash to make sure it's hot when I serve it - this one is no different!
