Directions:
- Prepare the Batter:
- In a large bowl, combine the finely chopped squash, onion, beaten egg, salt, and pepper. Mix the ingredients well.
- Stir in the flour until the mixture is well combined and forms a batter.
- Heat the Oil:
- In a skillet, heat about ½ inch of vegetable oil over medium-high heat. The oil should be hot enough to sizzle when the batter is added.
- Fry the Patties:
- Using a tablespoon, drop spoonfuls of the batter into the hot oil. Flatten them slightly with the back of the spoon.
- Cook the patties for about 3 minutes per side, or until they are golden brown and crispy. Turn them once during cooking to ensure even browning.
- Drain and Serve:
- Once the patties are cooked, transfer them to a plate lined with paper towels to drain off any excess oil.
Enjoy your squash patties hot and fresh, served as a delicious snack, side dish, or light meal!
