squash patties
These fried squash patties are a nice summer side dish and very similar to potato patties.
Blue Ribbon Recipe
Squash patties are very tasty in the summer when summer squash is in season. We ended up using a combination of yellow squash and zucchini. When pan-fried, the edges get a little crispy, and the natural sweetness of the squash comes out. Enjoy them sprinkled with a little salt. Or, serve with sour cream or ketchup. It's surprising how similar to latkes these squash patties taste.

Ingredients
- 2 cups grated squash
- 1/2 - onion, grated (or finely chopped green onions with tops)

How To Make squash patties
-
Step 1Mix squash, onion, sugar, salt, and pepper and place in a colander to drain. The salt and sugar will draw the moisture out of the squash. You want most of the moisture out of the squash, so you may leave it in the colander for a while or squeeze the mixture with your hands to remove as much of the liquid as possible. -
Step 2Place squash mixture in a bowl. Add flour and eggs. Mix well.
-
Step 3Place extra virgin olive oil plus a small amount of canola oil in a frying pan and heat. (The canola oil will keep the olive oil from burning as olive will get very hot and burn quickly.)
-
Step 4Form squash mixture into patties and fry until done and browned.
