Totally awwesome recipe - OMG they were snarfed up!- the few leftover are even good COLD the next day! We are Southern & very exacting on what constitutes proper hushpuppies. I made these calling them fritters but they met muster well. Crispy light bites of goodness - When I make them again (this weekend for friends) I will try to sub minced green onion for a bit more color but in same quantities. Fried them outside in deep fat fryer - done in 6 minutes at 360 degrees (we made big uns too). Thank you Southern Chef in Louisiana for this recipe I will use often when squash is in season as this is a subtle way to lighten an old family fav!
