Mashed Potato Squash ~ Does it Freeze Well?


Last fall, I roasted the last of the mashed potato squash we grew in the garden, and froze them.  I thawed a container for a dinner, and it thawed very nicely.  Hardly any water in it, and I just gave it a good stir before reheating.


Reheated with some salt and butter, and it tasted as good as freshly roasted mashed potato squash.  Yum!  I'm happy to report it worked out very nicely to roast, freeze, thaw and reheat.  

We will be growing mashed potato squash again this year.  I'm so glad we discovered this squash.

diane in northern wis, we discovered it last year, and we are so glad we did. There are no produce stands or grocers that sell it around here. I had to buy the seeds and plant it myself.
