Recipe information

  • Yield

    Serves 6

Ingredients

1 3/4 pounds zucchini (about 3 medium)
1 1/2 pounds boiling potatoes such as Yukon Gold
2 teaspoons finely chopped fresh lemon thyme
3 tablespoons unsalted butter

Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Cut zucchini crosswise into 1-inch-thick slices. In a large saucepan cover potatoes with salted cold water by 2 inches and simmer, covered, until tender, about 35 minutes. Transfer potatoes to a colander and reserve cooking water. When potatoes are cool enough to handle, peel and put in a large bowl. Add lemon thyme, butter, and salt and pepper to taste and with a potato masher coarsely mash. Keep mash warm, covered.

    Step 2

    Bring cooking water to a boil and simmer zucchini until tender, about 8 minutes. Drain zucchini well in colander and coarsely mash into potatoes. Mash may be made 1 day ahead and cooled completely before being chilled, covered. Reheat mash before serving.
