Crispy fried grated zucchini and potato
latkes (pancakes).
Zucchini-Potato Latkes
- 8 potatoes
2 zucchini squash
2 onions
3 large eggs
1/4 cup all purpose flour or use 1/4 cup bread crumbs or use
1/4 cup matzah meal
Salt and white pepper to taste
1/8 cup canola oil (enough to cover bottom of frying pan)
- Peel the potatoes, and set in a bowl of
cold water.
- Grate the zucchini, pressing out the excess
liquid.
- Grate the onions and potatoes alternately,
starting with the onions, to keep the potatoes from discoloring.
Press out as much liquid as possible and reserve the starchy
sediment, returning it to the potato mixture. Fold in the zucchini.
Blend the vegetable mixture with the eggs, flour, salt and white
pepper.
- Cover the bottom of a frying pan with
oil. Drop batter by the tablespoonful for each latke into the
pan and fry, turning once. Drain the golden brown latkes on paper
towels.
- Serve with applesauce or sour cream.
Makes 8 servings.
