Potato Squash Cakes

A very quick and easy side dish made from yesterday’s left-over mashed potatoes. These also can be made from grating potatoes if you do not have any left-over.

Step: 1

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.

Step: 2

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.

One of most obvious way to choose a side dish is to look at your main dish (pasta, chicken, seared tofu) and pick more different. When you’re cooking pasta, make sure for a simple healthy dish . Making steak? Go for more light. If you’re want to cooking stir-fry with rice, it must not a good idea to also make a rice salad.

This also can apply to cooking method . You don’t want to push more often your oven by making to do list three dishes at once in there, or be juggling four pans on the stovetop . But sometimes you can make a dish do more often .
