Squash, Potatoes and Onions- Oh My!

Submitted by Chef Mommie

"A wonderful side dish that I make as soon as the yellow squash start coming in. When I first started making this about 30 years ago, I used the bacon grease. I found I like the margarine better and I like the squash to cook so that you have a few browned pieces in. Oooohh, that gives it so much flavor!"

This turned out even better than I thought. So easy and healthy too. I used butter instead of margarine. Thanks for the recipe :)

Yum-O! Definitely my new way to cook squash! Normally, i just saute the squash and onion in butter (which is fine), but this recipe takes that to a new level! I cooked 4 strips of bacon in a pan and used the grease from that, along with 2 TB of unsalted butter. For seasoning, i added garlic powder, pepper, and seasoning salt all to taste. Great recipe! Can't wait to make again!

I loved how sweet these were with the summer squash. I used butter and added 1 more potato. I will be making this again! Thanks!

Lovely! I use olive oil and add seasonings like celtic sea salt, cayenne pepper, and Lawry's. Thanks for sharing!
