Time 20m

Yield 2

Number Of Ingredients 10

5 yellow squash, grated
3 tablespoons grated onion
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 egg, beaten
⅛ teaspoon baking powder
⅛ teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons butter, or more as needed
¼ cup shredded Cheddar cheese, or to taste
¼ cup chopped onion, or to taste
¼ cup sour cream, or to taste

Steps:

  • Place grated squash in a colander and squeeze out all excess water; you should have about 1 cup grated squash. Transfer squash to a bowl. Add onion, flour, egg, baking powder, and salt and stir batter together.
  • Melt butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Drop batter into the hot pan and use the back of a large spoon to flatten fritters to 3 to 4 inches in diameter and to 1/4- to 1/8-inch thickness. Cook until edges are deep brown, about 1 minute. Flip over and cook 30 seconds more. Transfer fritters to a plate lined with a paper towel and sprinkle lightly with salt. Repeat with remaining batter, melting more butter in the pan as needed.
  • Serve warm topped with Cheddar cheese, onion, and sour cream.

Tips:

  • Choose the right squash: For the best flavor and texture, use fresh, firm summer squash. Zucchini and yellow squash are both good choices.
  • Shred the squash correctly: To get even, thin shreds, use a box grater or a food processor fitted with the shredding blade. Avoid using a blender, as this will create a puree instead of shreds.
  • Squeeze out the excess moisture: After shredding the squash, place it in a colander set over a bowl and sprinkle with salt. Let it sit for 10 minutes, then use your hands to squeeze out as much excess moisture as possible. This will help prevent the patties from becoming soggy.
  • Use a variety of seasonings: To add flavor to the patties, use a combination of herbs and spices. Some good choices include garlic, onion, thyme, basil, oregano, salt, and pepper.
  • Don't overcook the patties: Cook the patties over medium heat until they are golden brown and cooked through. Overcooking will make them tough and dry.

Conclusion:

Summer squash patties are a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. They are easy to make and can be customized to your liking. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can create a healthy and satisfying meal that the whole family will love.
