Yield 20 pancakes

Number Of Ingredients 10

3/4 pound zucchini
1 pound russet or Idaho potatoes
1/2 cup coarsely grated Parmigiano Reggiano
1 tablespoon flour
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1 tablespoon chopped chives
1 whole egg
2 egg whites
Freshly ground pepper to taste
Nonstick pan spray

Steps:

  • Wash, trim and grate the zucchini, using the grating blade of a food processor. Squeeze out the excess liquid with your hands.
  • Peel the potatoes, and cut them into long strips. Process the potatoes, using the julienne blade of a food processor. Squeeze out the excess liquid with your hands.
  • Combine the zucchini, potatoes, cheese, flour, baking powder and chives, and mix well.
  • Beat the whole egg and whites, and stir into the batter, along with the pepper.
  • Heat a nonstick pan until it is very hot; reduce the heat to medium-high, and spray with nonstick spray.
  • Spoon heaping tablespoons of batter into the pan, and flatten slightly. Brown on one side; turn and lightly brown on the second side. Serve with light sour cream.
