Best Zucchini Potato Fritters Recipes
ZUCCHINI, POTATO AND HERB FRITTERS
Adapted from a recipe in 'The Australian Women's Weekly's TAPAS antipasto mezze'. Be vigilant about squeezing all the liquid from the vegetables and, after thoroughly squeezing out the liquid, pat the vegetables (except the garlic which is likely to stick to the paper!) with paper kitchen towelling. This is a recipe where it's a good idea to have all your ingredients ready before grating the vegetables and grating the potatoes last so they have less time to turn brown! The weights indicated are approximate so the following approximate weight equivalents should give you an idea of the general amount required: 410g = 13oz; 375g = 120z; 75g = 21/2 oz. The number of fritters you get will depend on what size you make them; the number that the fritters will serve will, of course, depend on how many appetisers or other dishes you are serving as part of an antipasto mezze platter.

Steps:
- Squeeze all the excess liquid from the potato, zucchini, onion and garlic, and use paper kitchen towelling to further pat dry the potatoes, zucchini and onion. One method is to put the vegetables into a small colandar or sieve, place this on or over the sink and press down on the vegetables several times.
- Combine the potato, zucchini, onion, garlic, flour, egg, mint, basil, pepper and salt in a large bowl.
- Pre-heat the oven to hot. 220°C or 425-450°F or gas mark 7-8.
- Heat oil in a large, preferably non-stick pan, and shallow-fry level tablespoons of the mixture, until the fritters are browned on both sides, place on paper kitchen towelling to absorb excess oil then transfer the fritters to oven trays and bake uncovered for about 10 minutes or until they are crisped and cooked right through.
- Combine the yoghurt and extra mint.
- Serve the fritters immediately with the yoghurt and mint topping.

ZUCCHINI POTATO FRITTERS
Steps:
- Grate the Zucchini. Use the large hole.Place it in a colander and 1 tsp Salt to it. Toss to combine and set aside for at least 30 minutes.Squeeze the water out of zucchini. You can use your hands or use a cheesecloth like I have done for my Zucchini Falafels.Add them along with thyme, potatoes and carrots in a bowl. You can at this point do a taste test to see if you want more salt. Season accordingly.In another bowl, mix the flour and baking powder until combined.Add it to the vegetable mixture. Mix until well combined. Mix until well combined.Form into patties. Repeat for rest of them. At this point you can also refrigerate these in the fridge (for about 20-30 min) which will help to hold them up well while frying. It also helps to avoid oil retention. Its not strictly necessary to do this.Add 1-2 tbsp of oil to your Cast iron pan (or as desired to coat the bottom of a non stick skillet. Note that regular non stick will require less amount of oil) . When hot, add the patties.Cook them until golden-reddish brown on both the sides. Takes around 5-6 minutes each side. Serve hot with ketchup / Chilli sauce/ Yogurt or sour cream.
POTATO ZUCCHINI FRITTERS
Steps:
- Mix zucchini, potatoes and ½ teaspoon salt. Place in a colander for about 10 minutes. Squeeze out extra water with a paper towel. In the meantime cook onions with some oil in a pan until translucent. Add the garlic and cook for one more minute. Set aside. Whisk the eggs in a bowl. Mix in flour, baking powder and ½ teaspoon salt. Add zucchini and onion mixtures and stir until well combined. Heat some oil in a bigger pan (medium-high heat) and drop the batter in portions. I use a ¼ cup to measure out the pancakes. Flatten the pancakes with a fork. Fry until crispy on both sides, flipping them when edges turn brown. This depends on how high you have set the heat. Higher heat works better to avoid soggy and sad looking pancakes! Serve immediately.
