PUMPKIN MASHED POTATOES

Pumpkin Mashed Potatoes image

Every holiday there seems to be a little of every ingredient or side dish leftover. Last Thanksgiving, I created this recipe by adding some pumpkin to the mashed potatoes-it tasted great! Sweet potatoes would work well too, but we'd eaten all of them! -Pamela Shank, Parkersburg, West Virginia
