Ingredients

2 pounds small red potatoes, skins on, quartered
1 small butternut squash (about 2 pounds), peeled, seeded and cut into small cubes
1/2 cup heavy cream
1 stick unsalted butter, cut into 8 pieces and softened
2 teaspoons kosher salt

Steps:

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.
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.
