Potato Squash

This recipe is one of my favorites while growing up. For 2 years I have grown squash and canned to use all year round. I end up with so much squash it should last me for a few years unless there ends up being a food shortage or a fallout of some sort.I usually double this recipe to add meat to the leftovers the next day.

If you want meat, try with shrimp, chicken, beef or venison. The first time I made this for my in-laws, my father-in-law said it needed meat. So the next day with the left overs, I suited shrimp with butter and added to it. Third day I fried chicken in olive oil.I haven't tried with beef or venison yet.
