These were absolutely delicious! I didn't have corn muffin mix, so I used plain corn meal and it was fine. I also added fresh garlic. Be careful to make them smaller though...they tend to be wet inside if they're too big.

OMGOODNESS!!! This was so tasty. I made a double batch of these. I added 1/2 tsp of garlic and 2 cups of cheddar cheese. With the last 10 puffs, I added 1/2 cup of corn. The taste was good but I didn't like picking deep-fried corn kernels out of my teeth.

Just had these for dinner and was a big hit. Very easy to make. I did not change anything with this recipe. It makes a lot, so I may cut in half next time. Depends on how the leftovers reheat.

This is really good! When I made this, I kept all the ingredients exactly the same, but changed a bit of the way they were used. Instead of simmering and mashing the squash, I grated it just like the onion, and then instead of deep frying, just sauteing, with 2 tablespoons of butter. Somewhat like a pancake, loosely speaking. While it isn't puffy like a deep-fried fritter, it was quite good and with a little less in the fat calorie column. The fat content is the only reason I didn't give a full five stars, but that is just a personal thing. Thanks for a great idea!

There is to much salt in it. Instead of boiling and mashing I would run it through a food processor and shred it. That way it won't be as watery and you can use any squash that has gotten old and tough. I would also fry it in a little butter or oil instead of deep frying in order to reduce the ammount of oil absorbed by it. This way it won't be so greasy.

This is wonderful! Mine started off a little watery so I added more of the dry items and some Panko (jap. bread crumps) the Panko seemed to make the puffs even lighter. We made a few the first night and saved the batter for the next day in frig. We took it to work and deep fried them in Peanut oil and served with bacon, sour cream and salsa on top WOW!!! what a hit, everyone wants the recipe!

If I could give this 10 stars I would. I only had dried chopped onions, so I cooked them with the squash and pureed them all together. I took others' advice and added a little garlic powder. Otherwise I followed the recipe exactly. I had planned on taking these to a potluck, so I tried them out on the crew of college age house painters working on my house first. They loved them, so I took them to the potluck. I let my son and his friend each try one in the car and they took a "vote" to eat all the puffs in the car and not even take them in to share. This from a boy who gags on cooked summer squash! I over-rode their vote and got several requests for the recipe! Thanks!

I absolutely loved these squash puffs. I cooked half of them as is and added some cheese to the rest of the batter. Great either way. I will definitely make this again and again.

I added the garlic and cheese to this like other reviewers suggested, but I didn't like them and neither did my children.

These were great. The kids loved them. I will definitely make them again. I did "mash" the squash in my food processor. It made quick work of the skins which didn't want to mash like everything else. These would be great with cheese, too.

I've tried many Summer squash recipes from this site and this one is a keeper. Fattening I'm sure, but very tasty we thought. I followed another reviewers advice and added garlic powder and 1 c. shredded cheddar cheese. Thanks for the recipe!

These were so good! I didn't even think I liked squash--a friend gave me a few so I went to the site and found this recipe. Now I may have to get some more squash because these puffs are addictive!
