Clean and wash the squash. Boil in lightly salted water until soft;
drain well. Mash and set aside.

Melt the butter in a pan, and saute the onions until limp and golden
but not browned. Add onion, cheese bread crumbs, parsley, eggs, and
salt & pepper to the squash, and mix well. If mixture is too soft,
add more bread crumbs. Let it stand for 10 minutes, then shape in
croquettes or patties. Roll in flour, fry until golden.
