Squash Patties Or Fritters Recipes

Steps:

• Place grated squash in a colander and squeeze out all excess water; you should have about 1 cup grated squash. Transfer squash to a bowl. Add onion, flour, egg, baking powder, and salt and stir batter together.
• Melt butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Drop batter into the hot pan and use the back of a large spoon to flatten fritters to 3 to 4 inches in diameter and to 1/4- to 1/8-inch thickness. Cook until edges are deep brown, about 1 minute. Flip over and cook 30 seconds more. Transfer fritters to a plate lined with a paper towel and sprinkle lightly with salt. Repeat with remaining batter, melting more butter in the pan as needed.
• Serve warm topped with Cheddar cheese, onion, and sour cream.

Steps:

• Place the squash and onion in a colander, sprinkle with salt, and drain about 30 minutes, until no longer moist.
• In a bowl, mix the squash and onion, flour, cornmeal, egg, and cheese. Season with pepper.
• Heat the oil in a skillet over medium heat. Drop squash mixture by heaping tablespoonfuls into the skillet, and cook 3 minutes on each side, or until golden brown.

Steps:

• Grate the squash with a cheese grater into mixing bowl.
• Add the cheese, onion and egg.
• Mix together and then add flour until it is almost a dry mix.
• Heat oil in skillet and drop spoon size amounts of mixture into hot grease and take spoon and flatten them to make into shape of pancake.
• Fry until golden brown and sprinkle with salt.

Steps:

• Before shredding, cut out the stem of the squash, but there's no need to peel it.
• If the squash is large, more than 4 inches across, you may wish to cut out the bigger seeds.
• Preheat about 1/2 inch oil over medium-high heat in a deep skillet.
• Beat the eggs, milk and oil into the squash in a large bowl, then add the flour, baking powder and salt and mix until combined with a few strokes.
• Drop tablespoons of batter into hot oil-- in a big skillet, you can cook up to 8 at a time.
• Cook until brown, turn with a spatula and cook the other side until brown.
• Drain on newspaper or other suitable draining surface.
• Serve with horseradish sauce, ketchup or whatever catches your fancy.

Steps:

• Line a plate with a paper towel. In a medium (10-inch) nonstick skillet, heat oil over medium until shimmering. In 2 batches, fry sage leaves, turning, until darker green in color and crisp, about 1 minute. (Be careful not to burn; sage will continue to crisp up as it cools.) Using tongs or a slotted spoon, transfer to the paper towel-lined plate. Pour sage oil into a heatproof bowl and reserve.
• In a food processor fitted with the grating attachment, or on the large holes of a box grater, shred the zucchini. (You should have ½ cup.) Squeeze to remove excess water and transfer zucchini to a large bowl. Then shred the delicata squash. (You should have 3¼ to 3½ cups.) Add to the bowl.
• Add the corn, scallions and garlic to the bowl of shredded zucchini and squash, and mix until evenly combined. Add egg, season with salt and pepper, and mix well. Sift flour and baking powder into the bowl, and fold until well combined and no white streaks remain.
• Line a platter or baking sheet with paper towels. In the skillet, heat 3 tablespoons of the reserved sage oil over medium. Working in batches of four, spoon ¼-cupfuls of the batter into the skillet, flattening the fritters until they're just over 3 inches in diameter each. (They should look lacey.) Cook until fritters are set and golden and crisp underneath, about 3 minutes. Flip and cook until crisp on the second side (adding a little more sage oil if the pan looks dry), about 2 minutes. Transfer to the paper towel-lined platter and season with salt. Repeat with the remaining sage oil and batter, adding about 3 tablespoons of oil with each batch.
• Transfer fritters to a serving platter and garnish with the crispy sage leaves. Serve warm.
