Ingredients
- 2 cups coarsely grated yellow crookneck squash (about 2 medium squash)
- 1 cup finely chopped onion
- 1 egg
- 1/2 cup flour (all-purpose or gluten-free flour)
Here's how to make it:
- Put the grated squash into a bowl.
- Add the onion, egg and flour. Season liberally with salt and pepper. Mix well.
- 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. Make sure the oil is hot before frying the patties.)
- Fry for about 2 to 3 minutes per side until heated through and golden brown on both sides. Remove to a paper towel. Store any leftover patties in an airtight container in the fridge for up to five days. Reheat in the microwave or in a dry skillet.
