Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 medium zucchini
- 2 medium potatoes
- 2 large eggs
- 0.5 cup all-purpose flour
- 0.25 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 3 stalks green onions
- 0.25 cup parsley
- 1 tablespoon dill
- 2 cloves garlic
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.25 cup olive oil
Instructions
Grate the zucchini and potatoes using a box grater. Place the grated vegetables into a clean kitchen towel or cheesecloth and squeeze out as much liquid as possible. Transfer them to a large mixing bowl.
Finely chop the green onions, parsley, and dill. Mince the garlic cloves. Add all of these to the bowl with the zucchini and potatoes.
In the same bowl, add the eggs and beat lightly. Then, add the all-purpose flour, grated Parmesan cheese, salt, and black pepper.
Mix everything until well combined. The mixture should be moist but not too wet. If it feels too sticky, add a bit more flour, 1 tablespoon at a time.
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Once the oil is hot, scoop about 2 tablespoons of the mixture and flatten it gently into a patty shape. Place it in the skillet.
Cook each fritter for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Avoid overcrowding the pan; cook in batches if necessary.
Transfer the cooked fritters to a plate lined with paper towels to remove excess oil.
Serve the fritters warm, garnished with an extra sprinkle of parsley or a dollop of sour cream, if desired. Enjoy!
