Notes
*****I find cutting squash very difficult. I like to place the whole clean squash on lined baking sheet and bake until tender. Then I peel and remove seeds. If you do not have a ricer you can use a food mill or fine mesh sieve. Careful if you do it by hand, the potatoes can become gluey. If you want to eat later, place the mixture into a casserole dish and heat in oven when ready to eat.
