FUCK the double down.

For those of you who don't know, the double down has come to Canada. Its a scary time in the great white north, and in honor of this terrible event, i came up with this dish. 1 patty of organic butternut squash. 1 patty of grated organic potato. topped with organic caramelized onions and 2 types of cheese.


Start off by caramelizing onions.

• dice up 1 med sized red onion
• add 2 tsp of butter to a pan at med-high temp
  
• stir in 1/2 of the onion to pan

• top with 1 tsp of maple syrup turn down to med temp
• stir in 1 tsp of chipotle powder
  
• continue to cook for a couple min till they look like below
• set it aside
  

Now for the patties. this was a bit more work.

Potato patty:

• Grate up 3 good size potatoes (not huge not too small)
• Soak in cold water
• Drain and squeeze out water
• Add the 1/2 of onion that was not cut
• Mix in 1 tsp of salt
  
• Mix in 1 egg yolk
• Add flour till it is the consistency that you want (a thick pancake consistency)

Butternut squash patty

• Grate in 1/2 of grated butternut squash (equal amount to potato)
• follow same directions as potato patty
  

As you start to fry up the patties turn on broil at med high heat. Use a large saucepan that has

• 1 tbs of oil in it.

• Fry till golden brown on both sides. (just over 5 min each side)
• Once they are done, set it aside
  
• Slice up and fry up 1 tomato (30 seconds a side)
• Than start to layer it up.

So for layering it up.
