This side dish of silky mashed potatoes sweetened with pumpkin (left over fromPumpkin Muffins与新鲜的鼠尾草),经验丰富,含有发出strands of Fontina cheese is full of favorite autumnal flavors. But, surprisingly, it's the cider vinegar that really makes this dish sing—just a tablespoon of this stealth ingredient adds a roundness that ties the whole dish together. We love it with pork chops or turkey cutlets.

Ingredients

Makes 4 servings

1 1/2 pound large boiling potatoes
1/2 stick unsalted butter, cut into pieces
1 cup canned pure pumpkin
3/4 cup whole milk, warmed
1/4 pound Italian Fontina cheese, diced (about 1 cup)
1 1/2 teaspoon finely chopped sage
1 tablespoon cider vinegar
1/4 teaspoon grated nutmeg
  1. Step 1

    Peel potatoes and cut into 1-inch pieces, then put in a 3-quart saucepan with 2 teaspoon salt and enough cold water to cover by 1 inch. Simmer, uncovered, until tender, about 15 minutes.

    Step 2

    Drain potatoes, then return to pot. Add butter and mash with a potato masher. Stir in pumpkin, warm milk, cheese, sage, vinegar, nutmeg, and 1/4 teaspoon each of salt and pepper.

  • I love this recipe. A constant at Thanksgiving ... and then I dream about it the rest of the year! The cider vinegar is an inspired touch.

  • The first time I made this I measured the liquid as stated in the recipe and it turned out runny (creamed potatoes, my father-in-law said). So I gave it a fair shake and made it again more carefully a few weeks later. It tasted okay, but I have a number of mashed potato variants in line well ahead of this recipe.

  • I'm pretty sure I didn't do anything wrong to this recipe and it turned out pretty disappointing. I say it tastes like baby food and twigs, my boyfriend said it'd be good if it was the end of the world and there was nothing else to eat. I think I'll stick with mashed sweet potatoes.

  • Excellent! I made a vegan version with no cheese and soy milk/margarine instead and it was delicious!
