Ingredients

The following ingredients have 22 Servings
  • 2 large zucchini (grated)
  • 4 large potatoes (grated)
  • 1/2 cup breadcrumbs
  • 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 tablespoon hot sauce (such as Frank's hot sauce or Sriracha sauce)
  • 2 eggs
  • 2 cups mozzarella cheese (shredded)
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt (or to taste)
  • 1/2 teaspoon pepper (or to taste)
  • 1 tablespoon dill (fresh or dried)
  • vegetable oil (for frying)

Instruction

  • 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.
