Squash Mashed Potato is a distinctive white acorn squash with soft, buttery flesh and a deliciously mild flavour. Once cooked, the flesh mashes beautifully, making it a tasty lower-calorie alternative to traditional mashed potato as well as a versatile choice for roasting, baking and soups. The productive plants provide an attractive autumn harvest of compact winter squashes that are as useful in the kitchen as they are eye-catching.
