To go along with my previous post about fried chicken, I thought that the mixed potatoes and squash were yummy enough to deserve their own post.
They were very simple. I washed and cut up one of those bags of mixed potatoes (some blue, some red, some gold) just into bite-sized halves (I got our bag at Trader Joe’s, of course). I boiled them, and steamed diced acorn squash separately. I drained the taters, and combined them with the squash. I added just a little bit of cinnamon, brown sugar, butter, garlic powder, salt and pepper.
Another tasty variation on this would have been to continue along and mash them up together, using a little milk and/or chicken broth. I guess your chemistry teacher would call that a “physical” change, not a “chemical” one…

Hey, I found this site through the Four of Clubs blog. Just wanted to let you know that I’m enjoying (and using) your ideas. I made this the other night for friends and it was a big success. I roasted mine instead of boiling. About half way through I added brocolli, and topped it with fresh parmesan when it came out of the oven. Good stuff.
