Number Of Ingredients 8

Ingredients

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

Steps:

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.
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.
