Pumpkin-Infused Mashed Potatoes

Pumpkin-Infused Mashed Potatoes blend fluffy russets with smooth canned pumpkin for a creamy mash with gentle sweetness and warm spice. Hints of pumpkin pie spice and a touch of basil create a cozy, autumnal profile that pairs beautifully with roasted mains. Serve it for holiday dinners or any fall evening when you want a comforting, seasonal side.

Pumpkin-Infused Mashed Potatoes
  1. 1

    Cut the potatoes into large chunks, leaving the skins on.

  2. 2

    Place the potatoes and 1 1/2 cups water in a stovetop pressure cooker.

  3. 3

    Securely close the cooker and set the pressure regulator over the vent as directed by the manufacturer. Heat until a steady stream of steam escapes and it whistles, about 10 minutes. Adjust the heat so the regulator rocks gently. Cook for 10 minutes. Allow the pressure to release naturally according to the manufacturer's directions, 5 to 10 minutes. Unlock the lid and remove it.

  4. 4

    Drain the water and mash the potatoes. Stir in the margarine. Stir in the pumpkin, salt, pumpkin pie spice, and basil until combined.
