butternut squash patties

Jessica and Istvan Jordaan 

A note to Jessica and Istvan,

Just this week I tried butternut squash for the first time in the form of butternut squash fries. They were awesome with the maple sauce. I did not use the whole butternut, so with the remainder your Dad suggested I try making them into patties, like sweet potato cakes. Now, Jessica, my youngest daughter can make some outstanding sweet potato patties. I still have not quite mastered them yet Jessica, so please send me your recipe so I can post it on my blog.  I have to warn you ahead of time  a butternut is difficult to peel and cut. So, ask that brand new husband of yours to help you.

Here is the link for the following recipe.
