Ingredients

Instructions

  • Wash and pat dry yellow squash. Slice into french fry shapes using a knife or french fry cutter.
    Beat egg and add buttermilk.
    Add flour, salt, and pepper to a plastic bag or bowl.
    Dip squash slices in egg/buttermilk mixture, shake to remove excess and place in flour a couple of pieces at a time.
    Gently turn bag to batter each piece well.
    Heat oil to 350-375° and fry until golden brown. Fry in small batches and don't crowd. Drain well on paper towels.
    Add extra salt and pepper if needed.
    Serve hot as a snack, side dish or appetizer. Great with your favorite dipping sauce.

Notes

This recipe is one of those "general" amount of ingredients. 2-3 Squash will result in enough fries to feed 4-6. It's really easy to adjust up or down. If you need more liquid, just add more milk. Use plain milk if needed. And it's simple to add more flour, salt, and pepper. I use peanut oil, but you can use your favorite cooking oil too.
