This Pumpkin and Potato Bake goes so well at BBQs and as a side dish, it is perfect for the colder weather when you need some comfort food or it can be served and eaten on its own with a side salad!
Even though this Pumpkin and Potato Bake is smooth and creamy....the best part is it doesn't have cream in it at all!
When serving this dish, everyone wants some of that crispy, crunchy top, with the soft, creamy pumpkin and potato.
I am not saying that I have noticed that most people tend to take extra ... large ... portions when this pumpkin and potato bake is being served.
Probably the reason why I make such a large dish!
