directions

  • Heat oven to 375. Spray 1 1/2 to 2 qt gratin or baking dish with cooking spray. Boil potatoes and garlic in large pot of salted water over medium heat 15 to 20 minutes or until tender. Drain; return potatoes to pot. Stir over low heat 1 minute or until excess moisture has evaporated.
  • Mash potatoes until smooth. Stir in mascarpone cheese, half and half, and butter until mascarpone and butter are melted. Vigorously stir in pumpkin, salt, and pepper until smooth. Spoon into baking dish; sprinkle with gruyere (gratin can be made to this point 4 hours ahead. Cover and refrigerate.).
  • Bake 30-35 minutes or until hot and cheese is lightly browned.

  1. Good, but didn't have the flavor I expected. I think the pumpkin flavor needs to be "picked up" more by some herbs/spices. I did add extra garlic and used the mascarpone cheese. Next time I would also add some thyme and crushed rosemary. I think that would help a lot. Thanx for sharing!

<p>In general, cooking is a passion and a hobby. I love to try new recipes and I love it even more when a new recipe comes out spectacular.&nbsp; I work full time, and am a wife and mother, so sometimes cooking becomes a chore.&nbsp; I try to keep it fresh by planning out the week in meals, trying a new recipe a week, and cooking enough to freeze dinners for those evenings with a tight schedule.</p>
