Thanksgiving Side Dish Idea | Baked Butternut Squash Potatoes

Author: This Worthey Life

Ingredients

  • 5 cups Yukon gold potatoes
  • 3 1/2 cups butternut squash cut into 1" cubes
  • 1 cup gruyère freshly grated
  • 1 cup Parmigiano-Reggiano freshly grated
  • 1 cup heavy whipping cream
  • 1/4 cup sour cream
  • 2 whole eggs
  • 2 egg whites
  • 2 tablespoons of kosher salt for boiling the potatoes
  • smoked flaky sea salt to taste I highly recommend Maldon sea salt
  • freshly cracked black peppercorns to taste

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
  • Wash and cut all of the bad spots from the potatoes and cut them into quarters, place them into a stockpot, and fill with water until just covering the potatoes.
  • Add two tablespoons of kosher salt and set over high heat for twenty to twenty-five minutes or until the potatoes are soft and can be pierced with a fork. Drain off the water and place the potatoes into a large mixing bowl.
  • Peel the butternut squash and cut into one-inch cubes. Place the squash into a steamer pot with cups of water over med-high heat and steam for four to five minutes or until you can pierce the squash with the tines of a fork. Add the squash to the potatoes.
  • Add the cheeses, heavy whipping cream, sour cream, and melted to the potato and squash, using a wand mixer mash together until the ingredients are well-combined.
  • Next, add the two whole eggs and two egg whites and mix thoroughly. Add the smoked flaky sea salt and freshly cracked black peppercorns.
  • Spoon the mixture into the casserole dish and bake on the center rack for an hour, the top should be golden brown.
  • Remove from the oven and serve.
