- Preheat oven to 180 C / Gas 4. Place the halved acorn squash cut-side down in a glass baking dish; add water to go up the sides of the squash by about 1cm.
- Bake in the preheated oven until soft and tender, about 30 minutes. Remove squash from oven; scoop out flesh.
- Place potatoes in a saucepan with enough water to cover; bring to the boil. Reduce heat and simmer, covered, until soft and tender, about 20 minutes. Drain potatoes.
- Mash potatoes partially in a large bowl; stir in squash flesh, butter, mustard, dill, salt and pepper. Add milk gradually, mashing to desired consistency.

Delicious! No need to change a thing. Creamy, tasty goodness! Thank you for the recipe. - 20 Jan 2016 (Review from Allrecipes US | Canada)
Seems I only review things when I love them - and we all loved this! Made exactly to recipe. Found the squash to be just under 1/2 the mix - recipe was very light and fluffy and flavourful. Was thinking I may decrease the mustard slightly and increase the dill - but it's ALL gone. Also of note, light in the stomach rather than a heavy potato starch. This is my new favourite use of acorn squash. Thank you! - 25 Dec 2017 (Review from Allrecipes US | Canada)
This was a fun, autumn spin on a traditional classic. I didn’t alter the recipe at all and I’m happy with the end result. Super delicious! - 29 Oct 2017 (Review from Allrecipes US | Canada)
