  1. Place bacon in a cold pan and cook over medium heat until bacon begins to curl and some grease is in the pan, about 5 minutes. Add potatoes and cook and stir until lightly browned, about 5 minutes.

  2. Add onion to the pan, cook and stir until softened and translucent, 3 to 4 minutes. Add squash and zucchini, cook and stir until squash begins to soften and brown slightly, 5 to 7 minutes. Cover and continue to cook until potatoes are tender, about 10 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Serve immediately.

Recipe Note

Yellow squash and zucchini are sauteed with potatoes, onion, and bacon. This is a side dish so good I tend to make it for lunch and eat it as a meal. Almost every summer my mother would have a bumper crop of zucchini and yellow squash in her garden and this was her preferred way of cooking it up.
