Harvesting Hubbard Squash & Thanksgiving Mashed Potato Recipe


Hubbard squashes, known for their ability to grow into very large squashes, make a tasty fall dish. Hubbard squash should be harvested immediately after the first fall frost. Cut the hubbard from the vine, leaving a short stub as you would a pumpkin. They can then be stored in a cool, dark area and eaten well into spring. A garage or basement is an ideal location to store hubbard squashes.

Due to their large size, it is often hard to eat one before it goes bad. A fabulous way to serve hubbard squash is to use it for Thanksgiving supper when you have a lot of mouths to feed.

Learn how to make Hubbard Squash Mashed Potatoes and serve the entire dish in the shell of the hubbard. The potatoes have a gorgeous orange fall color, are healthier than potatoes and if served in the hubbard shell can also serve as a centerpiece on your Thanksgiving supper table.
