Potato Zucchini Fritters Recipes

POTATO ZUCCHINI FRITTERS

Steps:

• Coarsely grate potato and zucchini.
• There should be 1 cup of grated potato and 2 cups of grated zucchini.
• In a mixing bowl, add grated potato, grated zucchini, onion, cornmeal, parsley, salt, pepper, parmesan cheese and beaten eggs; mix well to blend.
• In a large frying pan, heat butter and oil to medium-high heat.
• Drop potato/zucchini mixture by heaping tablespoonfuls into the hot oil.
• Fry for 2 minutes or until golden brown on the bottom.
• Turn fritter over and fry for an additional 1 1/2 to 2 minutes or until golden brown and done.
• Add additional butter and oil if required for frying the remaining fritters.
• Serve with a dill dip or serve them just as they are.
• If too much liquid appears in the mixture, just transfer the mixture into a sieve and let drain.
• Continue to spoon the mixture to fry.

POTATO ZUCCHINI FRITTERS

Steps:

• Line a big bowl with paper towels. Grate the zucchini in the prepared bowl, do one zucchini at a time, then strain all of the water from them using paper towels. Alternatively, you can place the grated zucchini in a colander over the sink, and add about a tsp of salt to the zucchini. Gently toss, then using paper towels, drain the zucchini.
• Add the shredded zucchini to a large bowl and in the same bowl grate the potatoes. Add the remaining ingredients to the bowl and mix well with a spatula or with clean hands.
• Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium high heat. Take a spoon and drop a tablespoon of the potato zucchini mixture in the skillet, or use your hands to form a ball then flatten it for a patty. You can also use a 1/4 cup measuring cup, as seen on the video.
• Turn the heat down to a medium. You can fry about 7 to 8 fritters at once. Fry on both sides until golden brown, about 3 to 4 minute per side, then transfer them to a plate lined with paper towels. Repeat with remaining fritters.
• Serve warm with ranch dressing or salsa.

ZUCCHINI AND POTATO FRITTERS

Steps:

• Grate the zucchini on the large holes of a box grater. Mix the zucchini with 3/4 teaspoons of salt and place the zucchini in a fine mesh sieve and set aside to drain while you prep the rest of the ingredients.
• In a large bowl, grate the potato and onion on the smaller holes of the box grater. Add the eggs, flour, remaining 1/4 teaspoon, and ground black pepper.
• Mix to combine. Squeeze out as much of the liquid from the grated zucchini as possible. Discard the liquid. Add the zucchini to the rest of the fritter batter and mix to combine.
• Heat 1 - 2 Tablespoons of oil in a nonstick skillet over medium heat until shimmering. Spoon the batter into the skillet, using the back of the spoon to flatten them out, creating fritters. Cook for about 3 minutes per side, until golden brown.
• Drain the fritters on a paper towel-lined plate. Continue pan-frying the fritters. If you're not serving them to the table immediately, preheat the oven to 200 degrees Fahrenheit before you start frying the fritters. Place the cooked fritters on a rack on top of a baking sheet to stay warm until you are ready to serve them. However, don't keep them in the oven for more than 20-30 minutes, or they will dry out.
