- Drain, then put ina large baking tin.
- Add the squash, onions and 2 TBs of the oil.

Tips:
- Use a variety of potatoes: Different types of potatoes have different textures and flavors, so using a mix will give your dish a more complex flavor and texture profile.
- Don't overcook the potatoes: Overcooked potatoes will be mushy and bland. Cook them just until they are tender, but still hold their shape.
- Use fresh bay leaves: Fresh bay leaves have a more intense flavor than dried bay leaves. If you don't have fresh bay leaves, you can use one dried bay leaf for every two fresh bay leaves.
- Add the bay leaves at the beginning of cooking: This will allow the bay leaves to infuse their flavor into the potatoes as they cook.
- Season the potatoes generously: Potatoes are a blank canvas, so don't be afraid to season them generously with salt, pepper, and other herbs and spices.
- Serve the potatoes immediately: Potatoes are best served immediately after they are cooked. If you need to make them ahead of time, reheat them gently before serving.
