Servings: 20

Preparation duration: 25 minutes

Cooking duration: 30 minutes

 

Ingredients:

2 eggs, beaten

¼ cup all-purpose flour

¼ - 1/3 cup oil, for pan frying (sunflower, grapeseed, avocado, olive oil, etc.)

1 small onion

1 large potato (preferably yellow/gold potato)

1 teaspoon salt, ½ teaspoon ground black pepper

1 - 1½ lbs zucchini (about 2 medium zucchini)

Equipment:

box grater

sieve

bowl

frying pan

paper towels

oven

baking sheet

Cooking instruction summary:

Grate the zucchini on the large holes of a box grater. Mix the zucchini with 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 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.

Food Joke

A 60 year old woman came home one day and heard strange noises in her bedroom. She opened the door and discovered her 40 year old daughter playing with her vibrator. "What are you doing?" asked the mom. "Mom, I am 40 years old and look at me. I am ugly. I will never get married so this is pretty much my husband." The mother walked out of the room, shaking her head. The next day the father came home and heard noises in the bedroom and upon entering the room found his daughter using the vibrator. "What the hell are you doing?" he asked. His daughter replied, "I already told mom, I am 40 years old now and ugly. I will never get married so this is as close as I'll ever get to a husband." The father walked out of the room shaking his head too. The next day the mother came home to find her husband with a beer in one hand, and the vibrator in the other hand, watching the football game. "For Christsakes, what are you doing?" she cried. The husband replied "What does it look like I'm doing? I'm having a beer and watching the game with my new son-in-law!"
