POTATO BOATS 
2 lg. Idaho or Russet potatoes
1 lb. banana squash, approx. 1/2 to 3/4 c.
1/4 c. butter, melted
1/4 tsp. cumin, optional
1 tsp. salt or salt free seasoning
Sweet Hungarian paprika
2 tsp. melted butter

Bake potatoes in preheated (425 degree) oven until soft, about 60 minutes. While potatoes are baking, cut skin from squash. Cut squash into small cubes and place in vegetable steamer, covered, over boiling water for 15 minutes or until very soft. Cool potatoes slightly. Cut them in half while still warm and gently scrape pulp from skin, taking care not to tear skin. Combine squash, potato pulp, 1/4 cup melted butter, cumin and salt with potato mashed or in food processor until you have a creamy yellow puree. Heap potato-squash mixture into empty potato shells. Brush with 2 teaspoons melted butter and sprinkle with paprika. Place under broiler for 10 minutes or until lightly browned. Serves 2 to 4 depending on size of potatoes. Yum!

 Sarah (Utah) says:
I never cook with squash and was a little wary of doing so. however, this recipe was really easy and very delicious. I chose to bake the squash instead of steam it and just put it in the oven with my potatoes when they were about half done. I tasted the mashed mixture before I put it back in the potato shells and was really surprised at how good it tasted. My husband loved this recipe and i would definitely recommend it to anyone.
