Southern Style Squash Patties

tabbymac's Note:

I grew up eating these and they are one of the few veggies my kids fight over!

• Total Time: 20 mins
• Prep Time: 10 mins
• Cook Time: 10 mins

Ingredients:

Serves: 10

Yield: 10.0 patties

• 2 medium size yellow squash
• ½ medium onion
• 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
• 1 egg
• ¾ cup self rising flour (or less)
• 1 teaspoon salt
• ½ teaspoon pepper
• oil (for frying)

Directions:

1. Grate the squash in food processor( or by hand if you dont have one).
2. Dice the onion.
3. Then combine squash, onion, shredded cheddar, egg, salt & pepper. Stir together adding flour a few tbs. at a time. It should be creamy and thick. Lift the spoon out with some on it and it should stick together. Use as much flour as needed to get to this consistency. I usually guess, and sometimes if it is too dry I use another egg. If they are not right they will fall apart when you cook them.
4. Pre-heat oil in nonstick skillet (I use my electric skillet) to 350 degrees.
5. Drop by spoonfuls into skillet and fry until golden brown usually a few minutes for each side. Drain on paper towels and enjoy!
