Zucchini Patties

It's summertime, and there will be an abundance of squash in gardens all over the Big Country. This is a recipe that my Mom and Grandmother made all the time, and I loved it growing up. Every time I make these, it brings back some great memories!

My only advice is: Watch your fingers when grating the zucchini! I usually have a scrape or two, but it's worth it!

I hope you enjoy one of my favorites!

2 cups grated zucchini
2 eggs, beaten
1/4 cup chopped onion
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1/2 cup shredded Mozzarella cheese
Salt to taste
2 tablespoons vegetable oil

Directions:
1. In a medium bowl, combine the zucchini, eggs, onion, flour, Parmesan cheese, Mozzarella cheese, and salt. Stir well enough to distribute ingredients evenly.
2. Heat a small amount of oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Drop zucchini mixture by heaping tablespoons, and cook for a few minutes on each side, until golden.
3. Drain on paper towels, then serve.
