Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 1 lb. yellow squash (unpeeled)
  • 1/2 medium onion ((4 oz))
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon Diamond Crystal kosher salt (or 1/2 teaspoon of fine salt)
  • 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter (for frying)

Instruction

  • Shred the squash in your food processor using the shredding attachment. Place on clean towels and allow to drain for 10 minutes. You can also grate the squash by hand.
  • Finely chop the onion. Place it in a colander to drain for 10 minutes.
  • Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium heat for about 5 minutes.
  • In a medium bowl, whisk the egg with salt, black pepper, and garlic powder. Add the grated squash and the onion and mix to blend.
  • Brush the skillet with half of the butter. Measuring 1/4 cup per fritter, spoon the mixture onto the skillet. Fry without moving for 4-5 minutes, until you can see that the bottoms are browned.
  • Carefully flip to the other side and fry for 4-5 more minutes, until browned on both sides. Brush the skillet with more butter and repeat with the remaining squash mixture.
