Potato Squash Cakes Recipes

SQUASH PATTIES RECIPE

Steps:

• Finely chop yellow squash and place into a microwave-safe glass bowl along with onions and peppers.
• Microwave on HIGH for 9-10 minutes or until squash is thoroughly cooked and soft. Drain. Mash. Drain again. (I place cooked veggie mixture in a sieve and press on it with a big spoon.)
• Add remaining ingredients to cooked squash and stir to combine.
• Heat a large skillet on medium. Add oil and heat until it glistens. Drop batter by spoonfuls into your skillet without crowding. Flatten with the back of a spoon to make a patty.
• Cook until golden brown on one side, then flip to fry the other side (similar to making pancakes). Serve immediately.

SEARED PORK CHOP WITH APPLE GRAVY AND POTATO SQUASH CAKE

Steps:

• For the potato squash cakes: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• Drizzle the squash halves with oil, sprinkle with salt and pepper and put on a baking sheet cut-side up. Roast until tender, 45 to 60 minutes. Set aside to cool.
• Put the potatoes in a pot and add enough salted water to cover. Cover the pot, bring to a boil, lower the heat and simmer until tender, 20 to 25 minutes. Drain the potatoes and mash with a fork or potato masher.
• Measure out 1 cup of the squash and 2 cups of the potatoes into a large bowl (save any remaining vegetables for another use). Add the egg yolks and some salt and pepper and blend well. Shape into four equal cakes.
• Heat a saute pan over medium-high heat. Add some oil and then the cakes and cook until golden brown on one side. Flip and cook on the second side until golden brown. Keep warm.
• For the pork chops and apple gravy: Warm the brown gravy and mustard in a saucepan over medium heat, stirring throughout. Keep on medium-low heat while you cook the chops.
• Sprinkle the pork chops on both sides with 1 tablespoon salt and 1 teaspoon pepper. Heat a large pan over medium-high heat until warmed. Ad the oil and the chops and cook until browned on one side, 5 to 6 minutes; flip and cook on the other side another 6 minutes. Remove the chops and keep warm.
• Add the apples to the pork chop pan and cook until softened, 3 to 4 minutes. Transfer the apples to the saucepan with the brown sauce and mustard; stir and taste for seasoning and thickness of sauce, adjusting with chicken stock and salt and pepper if needed. Finish by stirring in the butter.
• To serve, place a potato squash cake on each plate and then a chop. Finish with the apple gravy and serve.

BAKED TOMATOES, SQUASH, AND POTATOES

Steps:

• Heat oven to 375 degrees. Heat oil over medium and cook onion until tender and lightly golden, 6 to 8 minutes.
• Arrange the onion on the bottom of a 9-by-13-inch baking dish. Overlap tomato, squash, and potato on top of the onion. Season with salt and pepper, sprinkle with thyme and Parmesan, and drizzle with more oil.
• Bake covered for 30 minutes. Uncover and bake until golden, 30 minutes more.
