Ingredients

How to make it

  • Let's start by preparing our vegetables to make zucchini fritters. If the preparation is complete, peel the zucchini and potatoes, then grate them using the coarse side of the grater. Finely chop the parsley, green onions, and dill.

  • Take flour and eggs in a large bowl and whisk them well. Squeeze the grated vegetables to remove excess moisture, then add them to the flour mixture along with the spices and mix thoroughly. Add the green onions, parsley, and dill, and mix again.

  • To fry the fritters, take a non-stick pan and add a small amount of vegetable oil. Scoop a spoonful of the mixture and pour it into the pan. Once the fritters turn golden brown, transfer them to a plate lined with paper towels.

  • You can now serve zucchini fritters. If desired, you can prepare garlic yogurt as a side dish.

Tips and Tricks

Be sure to squeeze out the excess moisture from the zucchini and potatoes. After adding the flour, make sure the mixture is smooth. To achieve this, you need to mix it thoroughly. When frying, use a non-stick frying pan to easily fry the fritters. If you're baking them in the oven, make sure the mixture is not too runny.
