Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 medium Zucchini
- 2 medium Russet potatoes
- 1 small Yellow onion
- 2 large Eggs
- 0.5 cup All-purpose flour
- 0.25 cup Panko breadcrumbs
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 0.5 cup Vegetable oil
- 1 small Cucumber
- 1 cup Greek yogurt
- 1 minced Garlic cloves
- 1 tablespoon Fresh dill
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon Olive oil
Instructions
Grate the zucchini and potatoes using a box grater or food processor. Place them in a clean kitchen towel and squeeze out as much moisture as possible. Set aside.
Grate the onion and place it in another clean kitchen towel. Squeeze to remove excess moisture, then combine with the zucchini and potatoes in a large mixing bowl.
Add the eggs, all-purpose flour, panko breadcrumbs, salt, and pepper to the bowl. Mix thoroughly to form a cohesive batter.
Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Carefully spoon 1/4 cup portions of the batter into the skillet, pressing gently to flatten into patties.
Cook the latkes for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crispy. Transfer to a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.
To prepare the tzatziki, peel and finely grate the cucumber. Squeeze out the moisture using a kitchen towel, then place the cucumber in a medium bowl.
Add the Greek yogurt, minced garlic, fresh dill, lemon juice, and olive oil to the bowl. Stir until well combined. Season with salt to taste.
Serve the zucchini potato latkes warm with a dollop of tzatziki on top or on the side for dipping. Enjoy!
