Well, I have a garden and I planted squash and zucchini. Now I have the stuff coming out of my ears! (Corn is later, hehe) My girl doesn't particularly like squash, but she loves these with a little red chile and cheese.
Ingredients
  • About 6 summer squash/zucchini (3-4 pounds)
  • About a pound of potato (1-2 medium to large reds)
  • 2 eggs, beaten
  • 1-1/4 cup AP flour
  • 1 t. baking powder
  • ¼ t. salt
  • ½ t. pepper
  • ¼ cup milk
  • ¼ cup water
  • 1 T. garlic powder
  • Oil for frying
Instructions
  1. Shred or grate squash and potatoes and place in a colander, pressing down occasionally to remove liquid.
  2. In a plastic or glass bowl, Beat together the remaining ingredients. It should be a thin batter.
  3. Once most of the liquid has been pressed out of the vegetables, mix them into the batter.
  4. Heat a skillet over med-high heat and add about ¼ inch of oil.
  5. Form rough ovals with your hands, squeezing some of the batter out and place in pan.
  6. Press down with a spatula and cook about 4-5 minutes per side until brown and cooked through.
  7. You may need to add a bit more oil for each batch.
