I love squash. All squash. I make these patties out of yellow summer squash or zucchini or a mix of both. They’re almost like eating a hash brown. The longer you let the shredded squash drain, the more bite to the patty. These are a great vehicle for anything you want to put on top or straight out of the skillet. My daughters and I make ourselves sick eating these 😂#mycookbook

Steps

1

First thing you do is shred the squash into a colander that’s inside a bigger bowl. Next, salt the zucchini in the colander and mix it around. Allow the zucchini to sit and drain. I usually do this earlier in the day so I can get all the water I can out of it. When you’re ready to mix, wring out the squash with your hands and get all the water out that you can.
2

In clean bowl, mix all the ingredients together well. It will still produce some water.
3

In a large skillet, heat a couple tbsps of olive oil on medium-medium/high heat and drop rounded spoonfuls into the oil. I use a slotted spoon and kind of flatten the top a little. Cook til golden brown and delicious on both sides. NOTE: I do these in batches. I fit a sheet pan with a cooling rack and set my oven to 200 degrees to keep the cooked ones warm.

I'm an army brat with a Cajun mother and an Irish dad. I'm married to the love of my life, David, and we have 2 daughters and 2 grandchildren. I've been a barber for 40 years. Im an old fashioned, old school cook and my recipes are basic. I change them up all the time.Since finding out I’m diabetic I’ve had to rearrange old habits. Any recipe I have can be made the old fashioned way OR replaced with lower carb options. Just ask and I’ll tell you what has worked for me.I’m the self proclaimed queen of the leftover. I have issues with leftovers looking back at me with the same sappy look they had the day before. Can’t do it. My super power is turning what I find in my fridge into something I want to eat. I work so much better under pressure. I live for shortcuts and not having to run to the grocery every day. Work with what you have. Adapt and overcome. Also, the less dishes, bowls, and pots I hafta use, the better. Hope some of these recipes work out for ya!
