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
Directions
Step 1
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.
Step 2
Finely chop the green onions, parsley, and dill. Mince the garlic cloves. Add all of these to the bowl with the zucchini and potatoes.
Step 3
In the same bowl, add the eggs and beat lightly. Then, add the all-purpose flour, grated Parmesan cheese, salt, and black pepper.
Step 4
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.
Step 5
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.
Step 6
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.
Step 7
Transfer the cooked fritters to a plate lined with paper towels to remove excess oil.
Step 8
Serve the fritters warm, garnished with an extra sprinkle of parsley or a dollop of sour cream, if desired. Enjoy!
