Move on to the potatoes, wash them thoroughly to remove any soil residue, peel them, and then cut them into cubes of about one inch.
In a bowl, combine the pumpkin, potatoes, 3-4 tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil, chopped rosemary leaves, salt to taste, and mix with a spatula to distribute the seasoning evenly.
