Squash potato pancakes

Here’s what to do with all that goddam Summer Squash! 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.

    Thanks for this! We only have three squash plants but already have too much squash. I will definitely try this recipe–sounds delicious. What is the approximate yield?

      It will make 6-8 portions, depending on how big you make them. One would be fine for a side dish/starch on a plate. Or you could use one as an appetizer. Three would be fine for an entree for a vegetarian meal with rice and beans.
