Mom's Yellow Squash Fritters image

In the mid-Atlantic coastal area, we make our fritters with raw grated squash. I didn't find any recipes here that did, so I hope you will try these. Mom always made a huge batch of these for us. She had the magic touch! I always look forward to making squash fritters every summer. Note: I use either Canola oil or olive oil to make them healthier. I still use the butter because the fritters just taste better fried in butter. Even better, go out in your garden and bring in fresh squash to make this dish! Note: Corrections on July 17 include: 1 egg, beaten and 1 tsp. baking powder I cannot believe I left those ingredients out - I must have been tired. Sorry.

These fritters were a bit bland for my taste. I think they needed more seasoning. I also found them to be a bit greasy. Overall, I was not impressed.

Easy to make and oh so yummy! I used zucchini instead of yellow squash and they turned out great. I also added a bit of grated cheddar cheese to the batter for an extra cheesy flavor. Definitely a keeper recipe!

I'm not usually a fan of squash, but these fritters were surprisingly delicious. The batter was well-seasoned and the squash was cooked perfectly. I served them with sour cream and apple sauce, and it was a perfect combination. Will definitely be mak

These yellow squash fritters were a hit at my family breakfast! They were crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside, and the flavor was out of this world. I added a bit of chopped bacon to the batter for an extra savory touch, and it was a great
