Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups squash (grated and squeezed dry)
  • 1 1/4 cups onion, finely chopped
  • 2 scallions, sliced
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • 8 tbsp King Arthur all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/4 tsp dried thyme
  • 3 tbsp cooking oil

Instructions
 

  • To a clean kitchen towel/fine tuned strainer, grate and add the squashes, remove the excess water, do not miss that or the cakes turn soggy. In a large bowl, add the grated squashes (no water), finely chopped onion, sliced scallions, all-purpose flour, 2 eggs, salt, pepper, garlic powder, dried thyme. Mix them until just combined, The batter should able to hold on its own but do not over mix. I wait for 5 mins before making patties, it will let them stay firm while frying
  • Heat cooking oil in a large skillet over medium flame approximately 2 minutes until it shimmers. In batches (do not overcrowd the same), scoop out in 2 tablespoon-sized batter from step1 and gently press in patties (appx 1/2 inch) to hot oil. Cook for 2-3 minutes on the first side until golden brown and crispy then carefully flip to the other side & cook for another 2 minutes on second side. Transfer to a paper towel lined plate.
  • To prepare the sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, Sriracha, lime juice and salt.
  • Serve the warm squash patties with a drizzle of the spicy mayonnaise.
