I had some leftover canned pumpkin from my previous recipes: Nutella Swirled Pumpkin Bread and pumpkin chocolate chip cookies, so I decided to make some mashed potatoes with the leftover pumpkin.

In fact, it was so good I didn’t mind to have it as a main entree!
I adapted this pumpkin mashed potatoes recipe from Steamy Kitchen. Since my son loves cheese and bacon, I topped the mashed potatoes with some Parmesan cheese and baked it.
Then I topped it with crispy bacon bits. I served it with the Parmesan garlic noodles and bacon-wrapped shrimp, it was so yummy and we all really enjoyed the dinner.

Rasa Malaysia
It’s mentioned in “the remaining ingredients” in the Method. Basically, you combine the mashed potatoes with the rest of the ingredients specified in the recipe.

What do you have on top of potatoes? Looks like bacon and something else. Looks really good. I may be making this for Thanksgiving.
