ZUCCHINI-POTATO PANCAKES



Zucchini-Potato Pancakes image

This recipe was posted in our local newspaper, and my husband and I thought it sounded good. The recipe is very user friendly with the most work being the shredding of the zucchini and the potato. The work is well worth it though--trust me!

Provided by Ernies Bert

Categories     Potato

Time 45m

Yield 6 pancakes, 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 large zucchini, about 1/2 pound, ends trimmed
1/2-1 teaspoon kosher salt
1 large russet potato, about 1/2 pound, peeled
1/3 cup diced onion
1 large egg
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
fresh ground pepper
2 -4 tablespoons sunflower oil or 2 -4 tablespoons olive oil
sour cream, for serving

Steps:

  • Shred the zucchini into a bowl using the large holes of a box grater. Place the grated zucchini in a medium bowl and sprinkle with 1/2 to 1 teaspoon kosher salt. Transfer zucchini to a colander in a bowl and let zucchini drain at least 15 minutes and up to 30 minutes. Using your hands or a towel, squeeze out the excess liquid.
  • Shred the potato into a bowl using the large holes of a box grater.
  • In a bowl, mix together the onion, egg, and flour, and pepper to taste. Add zucchini and potatoes; mix well. Work quickly because the zucchini-potato mixture oxidizes and discolors once hit by the fresh air.
  • Heat 2 to 4 tablespoons of the oil in a large skillet over medium-low heat. When the pan is hot enough to create a small sizzle, ladle the mixture into the pan to form six 4-inch cakes. Fry until golden on the bottom, 7 to 10 minutes. Using a spatula, turn the pancakes over until browned on the second side, about 6 minutes longer.
  • Serve at once with a dollop of sour cream.

SPICY GARLIC POTATOES AND ZUCCHINI



Spicy Garlic Potatoes and Zucchini image

Categories     Garlic     Potato     Side     Sauté     Vegetarian     Zucchini     Summer     Gourmet     Sugar Conscious     Vegan     Pescatarian     Dairy Free     Wheat/Gluten-Free     Peanut Free     Tree Nut Free     Soy Free     No Sugar Added     Kosher

Yield Makes 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 6

2 pounds small yellow-fleshed potatoes (preferably fingerling)
5 large garlic cloves, smashed with flat side of a large knife
3 1/2 tablespoons vegetable oil
3/4 teaspoon dried hot red pepper flakes
1 pound baby zucchini, halved lengthwise
1/2 teaspoon salt

Steps:

  • Cover potatoes with salted cold water by 1 inch in a 4-quart saucepan, then simmer, uncovered, until just tender, 20 to 25 minutes. Drain in a colander and let stand until cool enough to handle, about 15 minutes. Peel potatoes and halve lengthwise.
  • Cook garlic in oil in a 12-inch nonstick skillet over moderate heat, stirring, until garlic is pale golden, about 2 minutes. Discard garlic, then stir potatoes and red pepper flakes into oil and sauté over moderately high heat, stirring occasionally, until potatoes begin to turn golden brown, 8 to 10 minutes.
  • While sautéing potatoes, cook zucchini in a pot of boiling salted water until just tender, 2 to 3 minutes, then drain in a colander.
  • Transfer potatoes with a slotted spoon to a bowl, then add zucchini to oil in skillet and sauté over moderately high heat, stirring, until hot, about 1 minute. Return potatoes to skillet and stir in salt.

Tips:

  • Shred the zucchini and potatoes finely. This will help them cook evenly and prevent the pancakes from becoming too thick or mushy.
  • Squeeze out the excess moisture from the zucchini and potatoes. This will help the pancakes hold together better and prevent them from becoming watery.
  • Use a large skillet or griddle to cook the pancakes. This will give them plenty of room to spread out and cook evenly.
  • Cook the pancakes over medium heat. This will help them cook through without burning the outsides.
  • Flip the pancakes carefully. Use a spatula to gently flip the pancakes halfway through cooking to ensure they cook evenly on both sides.
  • Serve the pancakes immediately. They are best enjoyed hot and fresh out of the pan.

Conclusion:

These spicy potato and zucchini pancakes are a delicious and easy way to enjoy these two healthy vegetables. They are perfect for a quick and easy breakfast, lunch, or dinner. Serve them with your favorite toppings, such as sour cream, salsa, or guacamole, for a complete meal. With simple ingredients and easy-to-follow instructions, these pancakes are sure to be a hit with everyone at the table. So, gather your ingredients and give this recipe a try today!
