These mashed cowboy 'taters with carrots and corn make one heck of a side dish. The only missing ingredient is the cowboy attitude, so these are best cooked with boots on and a six-shooter at your side.

1 pound red potatoes, peeled and cut into quarters
1 pound Yukon Gold potatoes, peeled and cut into quarters
12 ounces baby carrots or sliced carrots
4 cloves garlic, minced
1 package (10 ounce size) frozen white corn, thawed
1/4 cup butter
1/2 cup shredded Cheddar cheese
salt and pepper to taste
Combine the potatoes, carrots, and garlic in a large pot with just enough water to cover.
Bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Let cook at a strong simmer for 15-20 minutes or until the potatoes are tender.
Carefully drain the water from the pot. Return the pan to the stove but turn off the burner.
Add the corn and butter to the potatoes and carrots. Using a potato masher, mash the ingredients together until the potatoes are the desired consistency.
Stir in the cheese, salt, and pepper. Serve hot.

Pumpkins aren't just for pies or Halloween decorations. These large, orange gourds - while naturally sweet - also work well in savory dishes. They pair well with poultry and pork (and especially bacon) and their creamy-when-cooked texture blends easily into soups.
