Step by Step guide

Step 1

Chop the squash, potatoes, and onion in a food processor or grate them on a fine grater. Place the vegetables in a colander, add salt, mix, and let the juice drain for 15 minutes. Then squeeze the mixture.

Step 2

Transfer the vegetable mixture to a bowl. Add the minced garlic, sage, nutmeg, and beaten egg. Mix thoroughly. Add flour to the vegetables, season with salt to taste, and add pepper.

Step 3

Heat enough oil in a heavy-bottomed skillet. Using a tablespoon, drop portions of the batter, gently press with a spatula, and fry until golden brown (1 to 3 minutes on each side) over medium heat.
