Yellow Squash Patties

Pattycake, pattycake, baker’s man, bake me a cake as fast as you can. Pat it and prick it, and mark it with B, put it in the oven for baby and me.

As fast as you can, you say? Well, these Yellow Squash Patties may not be a cake, but they sure are quick to make! In regards to marking it with a B, I suppose that’s what condiments are for, aren’t they?

A fun little tidbit—these were actually more of a happy accident than something I actively came up with. At the time, I had leftover burger patties from a cookout, but they weren’t enough to feed everyone in the house. Thankfully, I had some yellow squash that I hadn’t used up yet. I subbed shredded yellow squash for the beef in my usual burger patty recipe, and surprisingly it turned out great! The resulting Yellow Squash Patties were slightly sweet, with a crispy, golden-brown exterior and a fluffy, moist interior. The shredded cheddar cheese also adds a nice sharp kick to contrast the mild flavor of the squash. When I first served them alongside the leftover burger patties, the plate got cleaned out! There’s just something wonderfully novel about a crispy snack made from yellow squash.

If you do try making them yourself, don’t be afraid to experiment with condiments! I’ve tried pairing them with sour cream and it really heightens the squash’s sweetness. On the other hand, my youngest daughter has tried eating them with a dash of hot sauce, which was apparently, “to die for.” Your imagination is the limit—ranch dressing? Honey mustard? Plain old ketchup? These patties will go with just about anything!
