Pumpkin Pecan Mashed Potatoes

I love everything pumpkin – pumpkin pie, pumpkin cake, pumpkin pancakes, pumpkin muffins and bread. Here’s a wonderful side dish to serve with grilled fish, chicken or pork – Pumpkin Pecan Mashed Potatoes. Serve it for Thanksgiving and it’s sure to become a family “favorite” side dish. (PICTURED ABOVE: This side dish also goes great with my Pork Chops with Pears and Cabernet Sauce and a side of steamed broccoli (with a splash of freshly squeezed lemon juice).
