    Pumpkin potato bake is a perfect vegetarian/vegan recipe. It consists of soft potato and pumpkin cubes baked in a deliciously spicy coconut milk sauce.

    This potato and pumpkin bake is one of my favorite meals this time of the year.

    It can be served as a vegetarian or vegan main dish with just some salad on the side or as a side dish for grilled or baked chicken breasts, fish, or even sausages. Everybody in our house loves this casserole: it is so soft, almost creamy, and comfortable, a total delight.

    Check out more pumpkin or butternut squash bakes, such as Roasted Potatoes, Pumpkin and Sausage, Turkey Thigh Roast with Potatoes and Pumpkin, or Roasted Butternut Squash Slices.

    Pumpkin Potato Casserole

    Ingredients

    The short list of ingredients, its cheapness, and the little effort involved in cooking this casserole make it even more appealing.

    All you need are potatoes, pumpkin or butternut squash, coconut milk, and some spices.

    If you're using a Hokkaido pumpkin, you will even be able to skip the rather laborious task of peeling a pumpkin. Try these Roasted Pumpkin Wedges, too; they are the best!

    I used Asian spices like lemongrass, chili, and ginger. If you don't have lemongrass, just leave it out. It tastes great, but the lack of it should not stop you from cooking this amazing bake.

    So, if you have a leftover piece of pumpkin that you don't want to turn into yet another soup, give this simple recipe a try; it is so worth it. ๐Ÿ™‚

    How to make pumpkin and potato bake?

    • Step #1: Preheat the oven and grease the baking dish.
    • Step #2: Cut the pumpkin and the potatoes into cubes, place them in the baking dish, and season them with salt and pepper.
    • Step #3: Top and tail the lemon grass sticks, remove their outer leaves, and chop them finely. Peel and grate the ginger, and finely chop the red chili. Place them in a bowl and stir in the coconut milk.
    • Step #4:ย Pour the mixture over the potatoes and pumpkin and dot with butter.
    • Step #5: Bake for 40 or 50 minutes until the potatoes and the pumpkin are very tender. Sprinkle with parsley.

    Store and reheat

    Refrigerate leftovers in an airtight container for 3-4 days.

    This dish is not suitable for freezing; nothing with potatoes really is; they will have a weird texture once thawed.

    Reheat in the preheated oven for about 10 minutes or until hot or in the microwave for a couple of minutes.
