SPAGHETTI SQUASH AND POTATO GRATIN



Spaghetti Squash and Potato Gratin image

This recipe takes creamy potato gratin to a new level. By pairing it with spaghetti squash, you're adding amazing texture and great flavor to this traditional dish - plus finding yet another reason to buy spaghetti squash!

Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Categories     side-dish

Time 2h15m

Yield 8 to 10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

Cooking spray
1 large spaghetti squash (about 3 pounds)
2 cups heavy cream
4 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 cloves garlic, chopped
1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves, chopped
1 cup grated Parmesan
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 1/2 pounds baking potatoes, such as russets (about 2 large potatoes)

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!



Squash, Potatoes and Onions- Oh My! image

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!

WINTER SQUASH AND POTATO GRATIN



Winter Squash and Potato Gratin image

This savory casserole is an almost classic gratin dauphinois (potatoes au gratin), with squash standing in for half of the potatoes and low-fat milk substituting for cream. It is a very comforting dish that can be baked ahead and reheated.

Provided by Martha Rose Shulman

Categories     casseroles

Time 2h

Yield Serves 6

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 large garlic clove, cut in half
1 1/4 pounds russet potatoes or Yukon golds (or add purple potatoes to the mix), scrubbed, peeled if desired and sliced about 1/4 inch thick
1 1/4 pounds winter squash, such as butternut, peeled and sliced about 1/4 inch thick
1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves
1 teaspoon chopped fresh rosemary
1 cup, tightly packed, grated Gruyère cheese (4 ounces)
Salt to taste
Freshly ground pepper
2-1/2 cups low-fat milk

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. Rub the inside of a 2-quart gratin dish or baking dish with the cut side of the garlic, and lightly oil with olive oil or butter. Slice any garlic that remains and toss with the potatoes, squash, thyme, rosemary, half the cheese and a generous amount of salt and pepper. Arrange in an even layer in the gratin dish.
  • Pour the milk over the potatoes and squash, and press the vegetables down into the milk. Place in the oven, and bake one hour. Every 20 minutes, remove the gratin dish and press the potatoes and squash down into the liquid with the back of a large spoon. After one hour, sprinkle on the remaining cheese and bake for another 30 minutes, until the top is golden and the sides crusty. Remove from the oven, and allow to sit for 10 to 15 minutes before serving. Serve hot or warm.

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!
