This really surprised me. I really didn't make it completely cause I only had potatos & mixed carrots (orange, yellow & purple) but it was still excellent! Will definately have to try with the squash & turnip!

I love the healthy-ness of this dish, plus the ease in preparing it. I used 3 large garlic cloves, thinking 5 large ones would be overpowering. I also left some of the veggies in chunks for a different appeal. Served with pork chops and cheddar biscuits, we had a yummy meal! Thanks Toni! MERP'd for Potluck Tag.

This is a really flavourful combination of winter vegetables.We love root vegetable mash,and the inclusion of the butternut squash was quite delicious. I've never added sour cream or broth to mine before,but we really enjoyed it. A real winner with entire family,thanks!! Made for 1-2-3 Hit Wonders.

I am so excited about this recipe! Such an easy, tadty way to get ib good seasonal veggies. I was out of sour cream and yogurt (doh!), so I used 1/4 c buttermilk to replicate the tang. I also used a 10 oz pkg frozen mashed b-nuit squash b/c I had it in hand. DS and DH loved this, too, which says a lot b/c DH holds his mashed taters pretty sacred...thanks, Toni, for a real keeper.
