Sprinkle 2 tsps oil over the squash layer. Layer ¼ cheese as the next layer. Repeat 2 more times with ¼ potato, ⅓ squash, 2 teaspoon oil, ¼ cheese. Finish with the last quart of potato slices and the last ¼ cheese.
  • Cover with foil and bake 40 minutes. Remove foil and bake another 25 minutes until potatoes are tender and cheese is browned.
  • To serve, garnish with reserved green onion and cut into pie shaped wedges.
  • Can be made ahead of time and rewarmed at 350 degrees for about 30 minutes.
