Description

These crispy squash patties, made with shredded yellow squash, onion, and Cheddar cheese, are delicious topped with sour cream and a dash of hot sauce.

Ingredients

8 medium yellow squash, shredded
1 onion, shredded
1 1/2 tablespoons salt
1 cup shredded Cheddar cheese
1 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 cup cornmeal
1 egg, lightly beaten
ground black pepper to taste
1 tablespoon vegetable oil

Directions

1 Place squash and onion in a colander; sprinkle with salt and drain until no longer moist, about 30 minutes. Wrap vegetables in a clean kitchen towel and squeeze out as much moisture as possible.
2 Mix squash and onion mixture, cheese, flour, cornmeal, and egg in a bowl; season with pepper.
3 Heat oil in a skillet over medium heat. Drop squash mixture by heaping tablespoonfuls into the skillet; cook patties until crisp and golden brown, about 3 minutes per side.
