I only had 2 zucchini and 1 squash so I reduced everything but the egg, and they came out to the perfect consistency. My husband really liked them and I will make again! Was a little labor intensive grating the veggies - but worth it! -
I thought these tasted great, but I had a hard time with them. They were super soft and very hard to flip over while frying, and didn't seem to firm up at all. I did use store bought breadcrumbs and cut the recipe down to 1/3, but I added extra breadcrumbs to make up for the extra liquid since I couldn't cut the egg down. I still enjoyed the flavor lots! -
With a slight variation of adding an extra egg, these stayed together great for me. No one could keep their hands off them. Needless to say they're all gone-loved them! -
I liked the flavor very much on these, but I had a hard time keeping them together. I ended up making some patties and the rest sort of "hash browns" but they were still yummy! Thanks Mary :)

I have two boys who will usually eat most things I put in front of them. As a single mom I use them as my guinea pigs....sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. I have a huge garden, blueberry and blackberry bushes. I am always looking for a new recipe. I have three cats (Xiao Mao, which means little cat in Chinese, Pumpkin and Max) and two border collies, Lucy and Grace. All my animals come from Rescue Agencies.
