We really liked this side dish. I wanted to make some sort of potato dish but didn't want to heat up the kitchen by turning on the oven. I remembered this recipe, which I had copied from a magazine years ago but had never tried. I used zucchini rather than summer squash because that was what I had. It would actually be pretty with both types of squash. I had to use small russet potatoes (which I peeled), and that worked out fine, but it would be wonderful with the red ones.

The red potatoes were a nice complement.

This was so simple and good. I did not change anything about the recipe and it turned out great!
