OMG - I just had to post here. My dad gave me 2 butternut squash from his garden, and I too had read the idea on hungrygirl.com . Holy moly! I had never had butternut squash - I always thought of squash as mushy and fairly tasteless.
Where have you been all my life, butternut squash???! I had given up on eating white potatoes, mainly because of calories. I cooked these this afternoon - these hashbrowns are so freakin awesome! I would never have known it was not a regular potato. Now my head is just turning with ideas of things to cook replacing regular potatoes with butternut squash!! A whole cup is barely over 80 calories.
I love you, butternut squash.
