Squash, Potato & Caramelized Onion Tart

A warm and cozy savory tart on a rainy day with candlelight and the fireplace going is about as good as it gets. I made a Squash, Potato & Caramelized Onion Tart Tuesday evening as the “bomb cyclone” (a weather phenomenon I’d never heard of until now) was preparing to hit the West Coast and hoped that the power didn’t go out before my tart was baked. Thankfully, we didn’t lose power. (More on the storm below.) Anyhow, in anticipation of the storm, I was safe and warm in my kitchen making this cozy tart with rain and hail pounding on all four sides of the house. A beautiful thing about this colorful tart is that you can make it your own with your choice of sweet or russet potatoes and any mix of fall squash such as butternut, honey nut, acorn, delicata, or acorn. You could serve roasted chicken alongside the tart, but really it could be dinner on its own with a crisp green salad and a glass of wine.

Even the smell of vine ripened tomatoes brings up memories. It was fitting that today Facebook pulled up a memory from five years ago of my talented sister Michelle’s colorful tomato harvest. Tomatoes will always be a reminder of my sister Michelle, who I’m pretty sure was looking over my shoulder as I recently made a tomato tart.
