2 cups pumpkin or other winter squash (such as butternut), raw, shredded fine and drained hard
1/2 grated onion (optional)
1 egg
1/2 cup self-rising flour oil
1 tsp. salt
1/4-1/2 tsp. pepper
1/8 tsp. garlic powder (optional)
Drain the squash again, until it's really dry. Mix together all ingredients. Fry in hot oil, a couple of minutes per side.
