Bring the water and 2 tablespoons salt to boil. Meanwhile, cut potatoes into desired shape (we cut into sixths). Add potatoes to boiling water and lower temperature to a simmer. Cook potatoes until tender and then drain and dry.

In a large skillet, heat the oil over medium-high heat. Add potatoes to the oil and cook until almost browned. Add the garlic and vegetables and saute until squash is cooked through. At the last minute, add the fresh herbs and season, to taste, with salt and pepper.
