Ingredients:

• 1 large potato (yields 2 cups shredded potatoes)
• 1 small green squash (yields 1 cup grated green squash)
• Oil for frying
• Salt and pepper to taste
• Chives to garnish

Method:

• Peel the potato and grate with a coarse grater.
• Wash the grated potato for about 3-4 times (The reason to wash after grating is to remove the starch.  Starch makes the potatoes to stick to a pan when frying/sautéing  So when you wash away the starch, it would be easy to fry).
• Transfer grated potatoes to a large bowl.
• Stir in the grated squash, salt and pepper
• Divide the potato mixture into 4 portions of equal size.
• Take each portion and make them into a ball.  Then flatten them between your palms to make a patty.
• Heat oil in a skillet and cook 2 of the patties over high heat for about 1 minute on each side.
• Reduce heat and cook patties on both sides until crisp (about 5 minutes).
• Drain on paper towel.
• Garnish with chives (optional)
• Serve hot
• Yields 4 patties
