Step-by-Step Instructions for Crispy Yellow Squash Patties
  1. Start by grating the squash, and then transfer it to a kitchen towel or fine mesh strainer. Squeeze out as much moisture as possible.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the drained squash, finely chopped onion, sliced scallions, and eggs. Add in the flour, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and dried thyme. Gently mix all the ingredients until just combined.
  3. Allow the batter to rest for about 5 minutes.
  4. In a skillet, heat the cooking oil over medium heat until it shimmers, which should take around 2 minutes.
  5. Using a tablespoon, scoop about 2 tablespoons of the batter and press it into a 1/2-inch thick patty.
  6. Fry the patties for about 2-3 minutes on each side, or until they become golden brown and crispy.
  7. Once cooked, transfer the crispy patties to a paper towel-lined plate.
