Southern Fried Squash Fritters

Sharing is caring!

These simple Southern Fried Squash Fritters are basically like pancakes or what I like to call fritters that are cooked from grated yellow squash. Everyone seems to love these every time I make them, so I decided to share my recipe with you.

Fried Squash Fritters

Squash Fritters Made From Abundance of Squash

For people who love to garden and love fresh vegetables out of the garden, there is no better time than Summertime. Summertime is a time for growing your vegetables and one of the most beloved vegetables is the squash.

One of the problems once squash becomes available is what to do with it. You can only eat it stewed, sautéed, and fried so many times before you become tired of it. That is where this Fried Squash Fritter recipe comes into play.

This is a spin on regular ole-fried squash. You are grating the squash, adding flour, egg, salt, and pepper, then you are frying them in patties.

Sounds good right? For the full-on recipe, drop it down below. You can also print it out for your recipe binder if you want. Don’t forget to watch our video of us showing you how we made it.

If I am not using summer squash to make this awesome recipe here, I also love to make this Bacon Herb-Roasted Summer Squash Recipe. The flavors of the bacon and Balsamic Vinegar meld so well together.
