- Step 1
Place the potatoes in a medium saucepan with water to cover by 1 inch. Place the squash in another saucepan with water to cover by 1 inch. Bring both to a boil, lower the heat and simmer until they are soft, about 15 minutes for the potatoes and 10 minutes for the squash.
- Step 2
Warm the heavy cream in a small saucepan. Drain the potatoes and the squash and return to a clean saucepan. Over very low heat, coarsely mash the vegetables, gradually adding the cream and the butter. Stir in the salt and serve piping hot.

An interesting idea but flawed. Suggest less potato to squash ratio. We microwaved the squash instead of boiled. Also used red, yukon, and blue potatoes, was quite attractive. DOES NOT NEED THE HEAVY CREAM (or as much, try it a tablespoon at a time), 1/2 cup totally wiped out flavors; butter is sufficient. ALSO, clamors for some herb or spice. I would suggest minimally parsley or chervil; chive might do as well. Rather bland and not a hit at the Thanksgiving table this year, alas.

This has been a family favorite since it first appeared in print in the "NYT" many years ago. We make it for the Jewish fall holiday of Sukkot, and we call it "Sukkot Potatoes." It's rich and delicious and beautiful.
