Salt and Pepper to taste

Steps:

  • Grate the Zucchini. Use the large hole.Place it in a colander and 1 tsp Salt to it. Toss to combine and set aside for at least 30 minutes.Squeeze the water out of zucchini. You can use your hands or use a cheesecloth like I have done for my Zucchini Falafels.Add them along with thyme, potatoes and carrots in a bowl. You can at this point do a taste test to see if you want more salt. Season accordingly.In another bowl, mix the flour and baking powder until combined.Add it to the vegetable mixture. Mix until well combined. Mix until well combined.Form into patties. Repeat for rest of them. At this point you can also refrigerate these in the fridge (for about 20-30 min) which will help to hold them up well while frying. It also helps to avoid oil retention. Its not strictly necessary to do this.Add 1-2 tbsp of oil to your Cast iron pan (or as desired to coat the bottom of a non stick skillet. Note that regular non stick will require less amount of oil) . When hot, add the patties.Cook them until golden-reddish brown on both the sides. Takes around 5-6 minutes each side. Serve hot with ketchup / Chilli sauce/ Yogurt or sour cream.

Categories     Squash

Yield 4 people

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 cups peeled and grated potatoes
2 cups of grated zucchini
¼ cup onion, diced
2 cloves garlic, chopped
2 Tablespoons of olive oil
2 eggs
½ teaspoon baking powder
⠓ cup flour
1 teaspoon of salt, divided
Oil for the pan

Steps:

  • Mix zucchini, potatoes and ½ teaspoon salt. Place in a colander for about 10 minutes. Squeeze out extra water with a paper towel. In the meantime cook onions with some oil in a pan until translucent. Add the garlic and cook for one more minute. Set aside. Whisk the eggs in a bowl. Mix in flour, baking powder and ½ teaspoon salt. Add zucchini and onion mixtures and stir until well combined. Heat some oil in a bigger pan (medium-high heat) and drop the batter in portions. I use a ¼ cup to measure out the pancakes. Flatten the pancakes with a fork. Fry until crispy on both sides, flipping them when edges turn brown. This depends on how high you have set the heat. Higher heat works better to avoid soggy and sad looking pancakes! Serve immediately.

Tips:

  • For the best results, use fresh zucchini and potatoes. Grating them finely will help them cook evenly.
  • If you don't have a food processor, you can grate the zucchini and potatoes by hand. Just be sure to grate them finely.
  • To make the fritters extra crispy, fry them in hot oil. You can also bake them in the oven, but they won't be as crispy.
  • Serve the fritters with your favorite dipping sauce. Some popular options include ketchup, mayonnaise, and ranch dressing.
  • These fritters can be made ahead of time and reheated in the oven or microwave.

Conclusion:
