With cooler nights upon us, Fall is definitely here with many more months to come. As farmer's markets and grocery stores stock up with seasonal produce, comfort foods tend to be on the mind. Allen Dikker, the owner and creator of the all-potato concept restaurant, Potatopia, is well versed in comfort foods, and has created an easy Fall Pumpkin Mashed Potatoes Recipe for all of us to enjoy during the Fall harvest season.

Mash with a potato masher or beat with an electric mixer on low speed until nearly smooth. Beat in canned pumpkin, cream cheese, butter, 1/4 teaspoon salt, cinnamon, nutmeg and 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper. Gradually add milk, beating until light and fluffy.
