How to Make Herbed Summer Squash And Potato Torte With Parmesan

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Butter two 8-inch diameter cake pans.
  3. Finely slice 1/2 cup green onions; set aside 1/4 cup for garnish.
  4. In a medium bowl, combine the remaining 1/4 cup green onions, 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese, 1/4 cup all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon dried thyme, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper. Toss to blend.
  5. Peel and thinly slice 2 pounds of potatoes.
  6. Wash and slice 2 medium yellow crookneck squash (or zucchini) into 1/4-inch thick rounds.
  7. Layer 1/6 of the potatoes in concentric circles in the bottom of one prepared pan, overlapping slightly.
  8. Layer 1/4 of the squash on top of the potatoes.
  9. Drizzle with 1 teaspoon olive oil.
  10. Sprinkle with 1/6 of the cheese mixture.
  11. Repeat layers with 1/6 potatoes, 1/4 squash, 1 teaspoon olive oil, and 1/6 cheese mixture.
  12. Top with a final layer of 1/6 potatoes.
  13. Drizzle with 1 teaspoon olive oil.
  14. Sprinkle with the remaining 1/6 cheese mixture and gently press to flatten.
  15. Repeat the layering process with the second cake pan and remaining ingredients.
  16. Cover both pans with foil.
  17. Bake for 40 minutes, or until potatoes are almost tender.
  18. Remove foil and bake for an additional 25-30 minutes, or until the tortes are golden brown and the potatoes are tender.
  19. Let the tortes cool slightly before cutting into wedges.
  20. Garnish each wedge with 1/4 cup of the reserved sliced green onions and serve immediately or at room temperature.
