Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Spray a 9-by-13-inch baking dish with cooking spray.
- Poke the squash all around with a fork, then microwave it in 5-minute increments, rotating in between, until the outside is soft and yields a little when pressed with your fingers, about 15 minutes total. Be careful when rotating and removing the squash, as it will become very hot.
- Meanwhile, combine the cream, butter, garlic, thyme, 1/2 cup of the Parmesan, 1 1/2 teaspoons salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper in a large saucepan. Peel the potatoes, then slice them paper thin on a mandoline, placing them in the cream mixture as you slice. Bring the mixture to a simmer over medium-high heat, then remove from the heat.
- When the squash is cool enough to handle, slice it in half, scoop out the seeds, then scrape out the flesh with a fork into a medium bowl. Discard the skin and seeds.
- Layer the bottom of the prepared baking dish with 1/2 the potatoes. Top with 1/2 the squash, then the remaining potatoes, then the remaining squash. Pour all the liquid from the potato mixture into the baking dish, and press the vegetables down to submerge. Sprinkle the remaining 1/2 cup Parmesan on top. Put the baking dish on a rimmed baking sheet, and bake until golden brown and a knife slides easily into the potatoes, about 1 hour. Let cool for 15 minutes before serving.

SQUASH, POTATOES AND ONIONS- OH MY!
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!

Tips:
- Choose the right potatoes and squash: For the best texture and flavor, use a combination of starchy and waxy potatoes, such as Yukon Gold and russet potatoes. For the squash, butternut squash and acorn squash are both good choices.
- Cut the vegetables evenly: This will help them cook evenly. If the pieces are too large, they may not cook through, and if they are too small, they may overcook and become mushy.
- Don't overcrowd the pan: When roasting the vegetables, make sure to spread them out in a single layer so that they can cook evenly. If the pan is too crowded, the vegetables will steam instead of roast.
- Season the vegetables well: Use a combination of salt, pepper, and your favorite herbs and spices to flavor the vegetables. You can also add a drizzle of olive oil or melted butter to help them brown.
- Bake the casserole until the vegetables are tender: The cooking time will vary depending on the type of vegetables you are using, but the casserole is done when the vegetables are pierced easily with a fork.
Conclusion:
Potato and squash casserole is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal or a special occasion. With its creamy sauce, tender vegetables, and crispy topping, this casserole is sure to be a hit with everyone at the table. So next time you're looking for a comforting and satisfying dish, give potato and squash casserole a try. You won't be disappointed!
