The cheesy potato and pumpkin casserole is a recipe that warms the palate and is irresistible.
Very tasty, cheesy, and rich, it is made with potatoes, pumpkin, melting cheese, and béchamel sauce.
With the beginning of autumn, pumpkin becomes the main player on the tables, and there are many recipes that can be prepared.
Pumpkin is rich in antioxidants and is suitable for following a weight-loss diet, promoting skin and eye health.
Meanwhile, the potato is rich in potassium, antioxidants, and minerals.
In this recipe, I used Mantuan pumpkin. For a good result, I recommend choosing it ripe.
