SQUASH AND POTATOES



Squash and Potatoes image

My German grandmother taught me to cook, and she used bacon drippings in almost every recipe, even cookies! I happened upon this concoction one summer Sunday afternoon when our neighbors gave us a bumper crop of vegetables from their garden. Naturally I stared with grandmother's favorite ingredient...bacon!

STOVE-FREE CHICKEN WITH RED BLISS POTATOES, SUMMER SQUASH AND CHILE-GARLIC BUTTER



Stove-Free Chicken with Red Bliss Potatoes, Summer Squash and Chile-Garlic Butter image

Provided by Geoffrey Zakarian

Categories     main-dish

Time 1h25m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

2 teaspoons celery salt
Kosher salt
2 sticks (1 cup) unsalted butter, at room temperature
1/2 teaspoon red chile flakes
4 cloves garlic, chopped
1 lemon, halved
One 4-pound organic chicken, brought to room temperature 1 hour before cooking
Freshly cracked black pepper
1 1/2 pounds red bliss potatoes, quartered
3 shallots, quartered
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
1 zucchini, thinly sliced
1 yellow squash, thinly sliced
1 cup fresh basil leaves, torn
1 jalapeño, thinly sliced, slices stored in ice water

Steps:

  • Preheat a grill to 325 degrees F.
  • In a small bowl, mix the celery salt with a few pinches of kosher salt. In a medium mixing bowl, stir together the butter, red chili flakes, garlic, the juice of half a lemon and half of the celery salt mixture.
  • Put some of the butter mixture on a spoon and press it under the skin of the chicken from the cavity side. Continue to work more of the butter mixture under the skin and towards the front of the bird, evenly spreading it over the breast. Work the rest of the butter mixture under the skin of the legs. It's okay if it's coming out the side; it will drip onto the potatoes as it cooks. Season the interior and exterior of the chicken liberally with the remaining celery salt mixture and some salt and pepper.
  • Put the potatoes and shallots in a large skillet. Drizzle with the olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Put the skillet on the center of the grill. Arrange 2 bricks on either side of the skillet. Set a cooling rack on top of the bricks over the skillet. Put the chicken on the rack and reduce the heat to low. The grill should maintain a temperature of 325 degrees F.
  • Roast the chicken for approximately 30 minutes. If the potatoes begin to brown too much, turn them and add a splash of water to deglaze the bottom. After 30 minutes, add the zucchini and yellow squash to the skillet. Cook until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 155 degrees F, another 20 to 30 minutes.
  • Transfer the chicken to a cutting board to rest for 5 minutes before carving. Top the potato-squash mixture with the basil, jalapeño slices, the juice of the remaining lemon half and some salt. Toss to combine. Carve the chicken and serve with potato-squash mixture on the side.

TACOS WITH ROASTED POTATOES, SQUASH AND PEPPERS (RAJAS)



Tacos with Roasted Potatoes, Squash and Peppers (Rajas) image

You can turn the heat up or down on this taco, depending on your taste for spiciness. Season the potatoes, onions and squash before roasting. A comforting filling that you can heat up or tone down, depending on your taste for spicy. If you like heat, use a preponderance of poblanos and Anaheims for your peppers; if not, use more bell peppers. I season the potatoes, onions and squash with cumin and chili powder before I roast them, and serve the tacos with a cooked salsa ranchera.

8 warm corn tortillas

3 ounces goat cheese (about 3/4 cup crumbled)

Provided by Shandalulu

Categories     Side Dish     Vegetables     Sweet Potatoes

Time 1h15m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 sweet potatoes, quartered lengthwise
1 butternut squash, quartered and seeded
2 tablespoons olive oil, or as needed
3 tablespoons butter
½ yellow onion, chopped
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
2 cups milk
1 ½ teaspoons minced fresh sage, or more to taste
1 pinch garlic salt, or to taste
ground black pepper to taste
¼ cup grated Asiago cheese

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease an 8x8-inch baking dish.
  • Brush sweet potatoes and squash with olive oil. Arrange sweet potatoes on a baking sheet; set squash aside.
  • Bake sweet potatoes in the preheated oven for 5 minutes. Add squash to sweet potatoes; cook until almost tender, 10 to 15 minutes. Remove and cool.

Tips:

  • Choose the right squash. Different types of squash have different flavors and textures. For roasting, choose a variety that is firm and has a deep color.
  • Cut the squash into even-sized pieces. This will help them cook evenly.
  • Toss the squash with olive oil, salt, and pepper. This will help them brown and caramelize.
  • Roast the squash at a high temperature. This will help them get crispy on the outside and tender on the inside.
  • Serve the squash immediately. They are best when they are hot and fresh out of the oven.

Conclusion:

These squash and potato recipes are a great way to enjoy these two delicious vegetables. They are easy to make and can be served as a side dish or main course.
