I’m so excited about these butternut squash latkes.
I’ve seen sweet potato latkes before, but sweet potato is a yellow.
And so I had a thought. If sweet potato works, would butternut squash? I mean- they taste practically the same. But butternut squash is a #GREEN.
Guess what?
It freaking worked.
I used my Paderno to shred butternut squash and then I added some diced onion, garlic, salt, pepper and one egg.
I used a scant 1/2 teaspoon of olive oil along with cooking spray to fry them and WOW.
Amazing butternut squash latkes.
And I topped them with a little Greek yogurt. Yuuuuuum.
I need to go make some more.
Right. Now.

Nancylynn says
They are really so good! I just updated the post…it’s amazing how many of my “old” recipes posts are like this. I guess I’ll get to them all in time 🙂
Patricia says
Is it one egg or two?
Nancylynn says
It is two. I realize my write up is confusing, but the first time I made it, I didn’t make enough. So the recipe as written is double what I made originally. Hope that helps!
Kim says
Yum can’t wait to try this. Than you for sharing. Would it be 2+ green cause the squash is 2 cups precooked?
Nancylynn says
Yes – if you eat it all! Enjoy!
