Ingredients:

Yields: 6-8 servings

  • 1 lg. butternut squash (approx. 2 lbs.), halved lengthwise and seeded
  • 1 lb. potatoes — any kind, peeled or unpeeled
  • 1 tbsp. Celtic sea salt
  • 4 tbsp. unsalted butter (raw, when possible)
  • 1 tbsp. fresh rosemary, chopped
  • 1 tsp. fresh thyme, chopped

Instructions:

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F.
  2. Place squash cut side down on baking sheet.
  3. Pour 1 cup water in bottom of pan, and place in oven to roast 40 to 45 minutes until flesh of squash is tender when pierced with a fork. Remove from oven, and set aside.
  4. Steam or boil potatoes, and add 1 teaspoon salt. When tender, remove from heat and drain.
  5. When squash is just cool enough to touch, scoop flesh from skin, and combine with potatoes.
  6. Melt butter in small sauté pan, and add rosemary and thyme. Simmer approximately one minute until herbs release aroma.
  7. Add butter, herbs, and remaining salt to squash and potatoes.
  8. Use either electric beater or potato masher, and mash all ingredients together until they’re smooth and well-combined. You may choose to leave it chunky if you’re leaving skins on the potatoes. Serve warm.
