Time 50m

Yield 14

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 butternut squash - peeled, halved, seeded, and grated
1 potato, peeled and grated
½ onion, peeled and grated
1 teaspoon salt, or to taste
½ cup all-purpose flour
1 egg
½ teaspoon ground black pepper
½ teaspoon baking powder
3 tablespoons olive oil, divided
4 cups chopped fresh spinach

Steps:

  • Combine butternut squash, potato, onion, and salt in a large bowl; let sit until moisture is drawn out, about 10 minutes. Transfer to a colander and squeeze out excess moisture.
  • Place squash mixture in a bowl and mix in flour, egg, black pepper, and baking powder until well blended.
  • Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a skillet over medium heat; cook and stir spinach until wilted, about 2 minutes. Season spinach with salt and pepper; transfer to a bowl.
  • Scoop about 1 1/2 tablespoons squash mixture and form into a small ball using your hands; flatten into a patty. Add 1 teaspoon spinach to the flattened patty and form patty around the spinach into a ball. Flatten the ball with the palms of your hands. Repeat using the remaining squash mixture and spinach creating 12 to 14 more spinach-stuffed patties.
  • Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat; cook patties until lightly browned, 4 to 5 minutes per side. Transfer cooked patties to a plate and repeat with remaining oil and patties.

These patties were a little too spicy for my taste, but my husband loved them.

I had some trouble getting the patties to hold together. I think I might have added too much spinach.

These patties were a great way to get my kids to eat their vegetables. They loved the crispy coating and the creamy spinach filling.

The patties were a bit bland for my taste. I think I'll add some more herbs and spices next time.

These patties were delicious, but a little too oily for my taste. Next time I make them, I'll try baking them instead of frying them.

These patties were a great way to use up some leftover butternut squash. They were easy to make and turned out perfectly. I served them with a simple green salad and they were a delicious and healthy meal.

I was pleasantly surprised by how much I enjoyed these patties. I'm not usually a fan of butternut squash, but the flavors in this dish really came together well. The patties were crispy on the outside and tender on the inside.

This dish was a hit! The butternut squash was perfectly roasted and the spinach filling was flavorful and creamy. I added a bit of extra garlic to the filling for a little extra zing. Definitely a keeper!
