Baked Zucchini Potato Latkes image

this is probably not at all traditional but it is way healthier and very tasty. easy and quick enough to throw together after work and it will use up some of the garden's bounty. i just eyeball this so all measurements are approximate. feel free to improvise. you can use more or less potato and zucchini, you just may need to add a bit more egg or flour to get it to come together nicely.

Time 45m

Yield 12-14 latkes, 3-4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 zucchini (large)
1 potato (large, peeled)
1/2 cup low-fat cheddar cheese (shredded)
1/4 cup flour
1/2 white onion (chopped)
1 egg
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon pepper
1 teaspoon dill
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

Steps:

  • shred the potato and zucchini with a cheese grater, chop the onion. mix together with the salt and let sit for 10 min to draw out some of the liquid.
  • drain the veggies well, give them a little squeeze. they don't have to be perfectly dry but do the best you can.
  • mix in the remaining ingredients, preheat the oven to 425f and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. just greasing it wont work, they'll stick anyways.
  • form the mix into little cakes about 1/2 inch thick by 2-3 inches around. bake for 10-15 min, flip and bake another 10-15 min or until crispy and browned on both sides.
  • serve with sour cream with chopped green onion mixed inches.

Tips for Making the Perfect Potato Latkes:

  • Use a combination of russet and Yukon Gold potatoes. Russets are starchy, which helps to bind the latkes together, while Yukon Golds are more flavorful.
  • Grate the potatoes by hand. This will give you a better texture than if you use a food processor.
  • Squeeze as much water out of the grated potatoes as possible. This will help to prevent the latkes from becoming soggy.
  • Season the potato mixture liberally with salt and pepper. You can also add other spices, such as garlic powder, onion powder, or paprika.
  • Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add enough oil to cover the bottom of the skillet.
  • Drop the potato mixture into the hot oil by rounded tablespoons. Flatten the latkes slightly with a spatula.
  • Cook the latkes for 3-4 minutes per side, or until golden brown and crispy.
  • Drain the latkes on paper towels to remove excess oil.
  • Serve the latkes hot with your favorite toppings, such as sour cream, applesauce, or smoked salmon.
