Crispy Yellow Squash Patties Recipe

Ingredients

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

Instructions

1. Place the shredded yellow squash and onion in a colander. Sprinkle with salt and allow to drain for approximately 30 minutes to remove excess moisture. Enclose the vegetables in a clean kitchen towel and squeeze out as much remaining liquid as possible.
2. In a mixing bowl, combine the well-drained squash and onion mixture with cheddar cheese, flour, cornmeal, and egg. Season generously with pepper to enhance the flavor.
3. Heat oil in a skillet over medium heat. Carefully drop spoonfuls (about a tablespoonful each) of the squash mixture into the hot skillet. Cook the patties for about 3 minutes on each side, until they achieve a crispy and golden-brown perfection.
