Ingredients

• 1 egg
• salt and pepper to taste
• ½ cup chopped onion
• ¼ teaspoon garlic salt
• 2 cups shredded potatoes
• ¼ cup cooking oil
• 4 tablespoons self-rising flour
• 1 cup shredded yellow squash

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

In a large bowl, combine potatoes, squash, onion, egg, flour, garlic salt, salt, and pepper. If the batter is too thin, add more flour; if too thick, add milk. Form batter into 3-inch patties.

Step 2

Cover the bottom of a large skillet with just enough oil to cover the bottom of the pan, and heat over medium-high heat. Place patties in hot oil, and cook until golden brown on each side; drain on paper towels.
