You see I had 4 patty pan squash that need to be fixed. I looked on Pinterest for Squash tots, yes they are out there, so I decided to try them. Well, to start with, I thought I had bread crumbs, but I guess I just thought about buying them. Anyway, I needed something to glue the shredded squash together. Ahhh, oatmeal. Mom always added moist oatmeal to the meatloaf..., so that should work. In goes the wet oatmeal, 1 egg, seasoning. (I should have used dry oatmeal) Things were pretty wet. After draining some of the liquid off, I dropped about a tablespoon into a sprayed skillet, topped with a sprinkle of cheese. Browned well then finally got them turned over and added another small sprinkle of cheese. Cooked until well browned. They were not crisp and also they were a little mushy..but oh well, believe it or not the oatmeal taste was only in one of the patties that was a little thick. They were actually pretty good...or was I just desperate for some food. No, I was not desperate, but they did taste good. The squash was still a little crunchy ... I am also cooking some in the oven...which will be better? Time will tell.
Until later.
Cute tile! I use dry oatmeal in hamburgers sometimes--we can't taste it and can't see it! Glad you liked your squash!
