I love this recipe! I add some parsley too.
Did you boil and mash the squash first?
nah, its shredded raw, you end up cooking when frying just fine!
I’ve never made squash by chopping the squash first, or with a flour breading. I found this recipe kind of bland.
Made these tonight and added garlic powder to the mix. They were delicious. My 17 month old loved them. She thought I was making little pancakes. Thank you.
Tried it tonight; I recommend using less salt. Good recipe, though!
Just finished making this. My husband was eating them as fast as they came out of the pan. 🙂 I used it with your honey mustard creole dipping sauce, which was great.
Anyone freeze these one cooked?
Doesn’t the squash need to be boiled and mashed first?
no you grate it cooks fast
i have a question is it ok if i don’t give onions? Or how to make them less pungent, but I don’t like the taste of onions.
cuphead
just add a lil sprinkle of onion powder instead
Awesome! I added minced garlic to the mix and a handful of shredded cheddar. And I did grate the squash and squeeze out a bunch of the water. Will definitely make these again cause I tricked my son into thinking they were big tater tots 🤫

Just made this recipe and I loved these croquettes! How well would they freeze? Maybe air fry them to crisp them up again?
