Well that is the fancy name for it. We here in the country call it a potato pumpkin or a potato pumpkin squash. One of our dear church members gave us a HUGE potato pumpkin squash this weekend. I cooked it and then mushed it up a bit and put two cups in a bag and froze them. I ended up having 11 bags of potato pumpkin. We make pumpkin pie out of it and I am going to see how a sweet potato casserole using potato pumpkin instead of sweet potatoes taste. What other ways have you used our potato pumpkins? Thanks for your input? God bless!

I love squash...we used to have it fresh from the garden when I was a kid living at my Dad's. I don't have it alot anymore but when I do I just bake it in the oven with butter and cinnamon. It's really great and now you've got me thinking about it LOL

Butternut squash is great in soup! You can cook it and add it to nearly any kind of soup but I like it in a soup with some chicken bouillon, nutmeg, cinnamon, and a cut up pear. When it's all cooked, put it in the blender till smooth and add some asparagus or broccoli or even some potatoes and carrots. Yummy!
