Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 medium-sized zucchini
- 2 medium-sized russet potatoes
- 1 small yellow onion
- 2 large eggs
- 0.5 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.5 cup vegetable oil
Instructions
Grate the zucchini and potatoes using a coarse grater.
Place the grated zucchini and potatoes into a clean kitchen towel and squeeze out as much liquid as possible.
Grate the onion and combine it with the squeezed zucchini and potatoes in a large mixing bowl.
Add the eggs, all-purpose flour, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder to the bowl. Mix everything thoroughly until well combined.
Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Scoop about 2 tablespoons of the mixture at a time and flatten it into a patty shape. Carefully place it into the hot oil.
Cook the latkes for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crispy, then transfer them to a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.
Repeat with the remaining mixture, adding more oil to the skillet as needed.
Serve the latkes warm with sour cream, applesauce, or your favorite garnish.
