Best Zucchini Potato And Herb Fritters Recipes

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.

POTATO AND ZUCCHINI FRITTATA

Steps:

• Bring the potatoes with enough cold water to cover to a boil in a small saucepan. Cook, over medium-high heat, until the potatoes are tender, 6 to 8 minutes; drain and pat dry.
• Whisk together the eggs, egg whites, cilantro, salt, and hot sauce in a large bowl.
• Preheat the oven broiler to medium-high.
• Heat the oil in a medium (10-inch) ovenproof nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the garlic and onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until the onion is translucent, 2 minutes. Add zucchini and cook until tender, about 6 minutes more. Add the cooked potatoes and cook, stirring occasionally, until the potatoes begin to brown slightly, about 4 minutes more.
• Evenly pour the egg mixture over the vegetable mixture. Cook, over medium heat, tilting the pan and lifting the edges with a rubber spatula to let the uncooked egg flow underneath. Sprinkle with the cheese and the bacon, if using. Broil, 5 to 7 inches from the heat, until the eggs puff and are just set and the cheese is golden brown, about 5 minutes. Remove carefully to a plate, or serve in wedges directly from the skillet.

GREEK ZUCCHINI FRITTERS

Steps:

• Salt the zucchini generously and leave to drain in a colander for one hour, tossing and squeezing the zucchini from time to time. Take up handfuls of zucchini, and squeeze out all of the moisture. Alternately, wrap in a clean dish towel, and squeeze out the water by twisting at both ends.
• In a large bowl, beat the eggs and add the shredded zucchini, herbs, cumin, bread crumbs, salt and pepper to taste and feta. Mix together well. Take up a small handful of the mixture; if it presses neatly into a patty, it is the right consistency. If it seems wet, add more breadcrumbs or a few tablespoons of all-purpose flour. When the mixture has the right consistency, cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for one hour or longer.
• Heat 1 inch of olive oil in a large frying pan until rippling, or at about 275 degrees. Meanwhile, take up heaped tablespoons of the zucchini mixture, and form balls or patties. Lightly dredge in flour.
• When the oil is very hot, add the patties in batches to the pan. Fry until golden brown, turning once with a spider or slotted spoon. Remove from the oil, and drain briefly on a rack. Serve with plain Greek style yogurt if desired.

ZUCCHINI, POTATO AND HERB FRITTERS

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.
