Potato Squash Cakes Recipes

POTATO SQUASH CAKES

Steps:

• In a large bowl, combine potatoes, squash, onion, egg, flour, garlic salt, salt, and pepper. If the batter is too thin, add more flour; if too thick, add milk. Form batter into 3-inch patties.
• Cover the bottom of a large skillet with just enough oil to cover the bottom of the pan, and heat over medium-high heat. Place patties in hot oil, and cook until golden brown on each side; drain on paper towels.

PARMESAN-SQUASH CAKES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
• Beat egg in a large bowl. Stir in shallots, parsley, salt and pepper. Place shredded squash in the center of a clean kitchen towel; gather up the ends and twist to squeeze out any liquid. Add the squash and cheese to the bowl; stir to combine.
• Heat oil in a large ovenproof nonstick skillet over medium heat. Pack a 1/3-cup measuring cup with the squash mixture and unmold it into the pan; gently pat it down to form a 3-inch cake. Repeat, making 4 squash cakes. Cook until browned and crispy on the bottom, 3 to 4 minutes. Gently turn the cakes over and transfer the pan to the oven. Bake for 10 minutes. Serve immediately.

MASHED POTATO SQUASH

• Preheat oven to 350°F.

SQUASH POTATOES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Place the potatoes on a baking sheet, and bake 45 minutes, until cooked through and tender.
• Place the squash in a pot with enough water to cover, and bring to a boil. Cook 10 minutes, or until tender. Transfer to a colander, and allow to drain for 30 minutes.
• Cut the baked potatoes in half, and scoop out the pulp, taking care to leave skins intact. In a large bowl, mash together the potato pulp, squash, and butter. Spoon the mixture into the potato skins, and place on a baking sheet. Sprinkle with seasoned salt.
• Reduce oven temperature to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Bake stuffed potato skins 30 minutes, until surface of filling is lightly browned.

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.
