Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Crispy Yellow Squash Patties.
Step 1
Begin by placing the shredded yellow squash and onion in a colander, generously sprinkling them with salt.
Step 2
Allow this mixture to drain for about 30 minutes, ensuring it loses excess moisture.
Step 3
Once drained, take a clean kitchen towel and wrap the squash and onion, squeezing firmly to extract as much liquid as possible.
Step 4
In a mixing bowl, combine the well-drained squash and onion with shredded Cheddar cheese, all-purpose flour, cornmeal, and a beaten egg.
Step 5
Season with freshly ground black pepper to your liking and mix until everything is evenly incorporated.
Step 6
Heat vegetable oil in a skillet over medium heat until shimmering.
Step 7
Carefully drop heaping tablespoonfuls of the squash mixture into the hot skillet.
Step 8
Cook the patties for approximately 3 minutes on each side, or until they achieve a delightful crisp and golden brown hue.
Step 9
Once cooked, transfer the patties to a plate lined with paper towels to absorb any excess oil before serving.
