🧂 Ingredients

• 4 pounds mashed potato squash
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• salt and black pepper to taste
• butter, milk, cream, sour cream, garlic, herbs or other seasonings to taste.

  optional

Instructions

• 1 Preheat the oven to 375 degrees f.
• 2 On a sturdy cutting board, carefully slice off about half an inch of the stem
  side and bottom of each squash with a sharp knife.
• 3 Stand the squash up on one of the flat sides and carefully cut it lengthwise
  down the middle. Use a spoon to scoop out the seeds and stringy pulp from the
  center.
• 4 Place the squash cut side up on a baking sheet and drizzle or brush the flesh
  with olive oil and season with salt and pepper to taste.
• 5 Flip the squash halves over so they're cut side down and roast for 40-50 minutes
  until soft and easily pierced with a fork.
• 6 Scoop the creamy white flesh into a bowl and use a potato masher to incorporate
  butter, milk or sour cream or herbs of your choice to taste.
