• In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat and once hot, add prosciutto and cook for a few minutes on both sides to crisp then remove to paper towels. Chop into smaller pieces to serve over finished dish.
• Keep fat hot and add onions and garlic and cook for two minutes.
• Add sage, potatoes, salt, pepper and water, cover, bring to a simmer then lower heat to medium low and cook for 15 minutes or until tender. Check to make sure water has not all evaporated, adding a little more as needed.
• Remove from heat and using a potato masher, mash the potatoes coarsely. There should be some chunks when finished.
• Add the pumpkin, butter, maple syrup and the dairy and heat over medium heat until hot. Taste and adjust seasoning.
• Remove to a serving bowl and sprinkle with the cooked prosciutto.

SWEET POTATO, PUMPKIN AND APPLE PUREE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Scrub sweet potatoes, and pierce in several places with a sharp knife. Pierce the apples in a few places. Line a baking sheet with foil, lightly oil the foil, and place the potatoes, pumpkin (cut side down) and apples on top. Bake the pumpkin and apples for 30 to 40 minutes, until a knife can easily be inserted right to the core of the apples (it's fine if the skin pops off the apples, or if they collapse) and the pumpkin is soft. Remove the pumpkin and apples from the oven. Continue to bake the sweet potatoes until thoroughly soft and beginning to ooze, 15 minutes or longer, depending on the size. Remove from the heat, and allow to cool until you can handle them easily.
• Turn the oven down to 350 degrees. Remove the skins from the potatoes and pumpkin. Peel and core the apples, and scrape off any apple flesh that adheres to the skin. Chop everything coarsely, and place in a food processor fitted with the steel blade. Puree until smooth. Add the remaining ingredients, and blend well. Transfer to a lightly buttered 2-quart baking dish.
• Heat the puree in the 350-degree oven for 20 minutes, or until steaming. Serve hot.

PUMPKIN MASHED POTATOES RECIPE

Steps:

• Put the potatoes in a large pot and cover with water. Bring to boil, turn to heat to medium-low and cook potatoes for 20 minutes or until you can easily pierce with a fork.

• Mash the potatoes. Mash and stir in the remaining ingredients to the mashed potatoes until smooth. Taste and adjust seasonings if needed. Drizzle with a bit more maple syrup just before serving.
