Crispy Zucchini & Yellow Squash Patties Recipe: The South in Your Mouth by Donna John

We love our yellow crookneck squash and zucchini in the south. With vegetable gardens overloaded with these fan-favorite vegetables in the summer, I know you're probably looking for new recipes like I am. This crispy zucchini and yellow squash patties recipe combines two of our favorite summer vegetables into one amazing side dish.

All you need to make these crispy pan-fried squash patties is a yellow crookneck squash, a zucchini squash, an onion, an egg and flour. Use a cheese grater to shred the squash into a bowl, then add the chopped onion, egg and flour. Mix well, shape into patties and fry in hot oil until golden and crispy on both sides.

Serve these squash cakes as a side dish for dinner with chicken, pork, beef or seafood. You could also serve them as an appetizer with a dipping sauce like creamy Cajun, ranch or remoulade.

Recipe Notes

• Don't crowd the pan when frying the squash patties. You may have to do it in two batches.

• Make sure the oil is hot before frying the patties.

Here's how to make it:

1. Put the grated squash into a bowl.
   
2. Add the onion, egg and flour. Season liberally with salt and pepper. Mix well.
   
3. Heat about 1/2 an inch of oil in a frying pan over medium-high heat. Using a spoon, drop mounds of the squash mixture into the hot oil to form patties. Don't crowd the pan. (You may have to do this in two batches.)
   
4. Fry for about 2 to 3 minutes per side until heated through and golden brown on both sides. Remove to a paper towel.
