Southern Style Squash Patties

Ingredients

• 2 medium size yellow squash
• 1/2 medium onion
• 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
• 1 egg
• 3/4 cup self rising flour (or less)
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon pepper
• oil (for frying)

Directions

1. 1

   Grate the squash in food processor( or by hand if you dont have one).

2. 2

   Dice the onion.

3. 3

   Then combine squash, onion, shredded cheddar, egg, salt & pepper. Stir together adding flour a few tbs. at a time. It should be creamy and thick. Lift the spoon out with some on it and it should stick together. Use as much flour as needed to get to this consistency. I usually guess, and sometimes if it is too dry I use another egg. If they are not right they will fall apart when you cook them.

4. 4

   Pre-heat oil in nonstick skillet (I use my electric skillet) to 350 degrees.

5. 5

   Drop by spoonfuls into skillet and fry until golden brown usually a few minutes for each side. Drain on paper towels and enjoy!
