Shredded Veggie Cakes

I have a surplus of yellow squash! All weekend I've been trying to figure out what the heck to do with all this squash! So today I went on a squash recipe hunt, and I turned to my friend Google for help. I found a recipe for squash bread (it's in the oven right now), but I had shredded squash left over. Then, I remembered seeing a recipe somewhere (I have no clue where) a few years ago for shredded veggie cakes. I did these similar to potato latke. They turned out quite well, but they're not good with applesauce (I had to try).




Shredded Veggie Cakes

1 yellow squash
2 medium potatoes
1 carrot
1 medium onion
1 egg
1/2c AP flour (approximately)
tt salt
tt pepper
canola oil

Shred all veggies with food processor attachment or box grater. Beat one egg and stir in. Mix in salt and pepper. Add in just enough flour for the mixture not to look so wet.

Heat a bit of oil in a saute pan. Add in a spoonful of the veggie mixture and smash it down til it's pretty flat. I cooked 3 of these at a time in a 6" saute pan. Cook on each side until they start to brown. Remove from pan and let cool on paper towels to get rid of excess oil.

I had to try these like latke and I can report these were good alone or with sour cream, but don't try them with applesauce.

If you have any squash or zucchini recipes PLEASE share them with me. I have a surplus of these veggies!

Enjoy!
