Country Fried Squash
Dotdash Meredith Food Studios
“My mom used to make this a lot during the summer. Can’t believe I waited so long to make it. I also did like another reviewer and dipped the squash in flour mixture, then milk and egg and then the corn meal. Delicious.” — Joe Michael Baker
Yellow Squash Patties
“One of my favorite recipes! I’ll use different cheeses depending on what I have at home. I also mix the onion and squash with salt and let them drain for at least an hour, sometimes more. The salt helps remove the moisture. Making them again this week. Everyone now knows me for my squash patties! Delicious!” — Corinne McCarthy
