ZUCCHINI-POTATO PANCAKES



Zucchini-Potato Pancakes image

This recipe was posted in our local newspaper, and my husband and I thought it sounded good. The recipe is very user friendly with the most work being the shredding of the zucchini and the potato. The work is well worth it though--trust me!

Provided by Ernies Bert

Categories     Potato

Time 45m

Yield 6 pancakes, 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 large zucchini, about 1/2 pound, ends trimmed
1/2-1 teaspoon kosher salt
1 large russet potato, about 1/2 pound, peeled
1/3 cup diced onion
1 large egg
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
fresh ground pepper
2 -4 tablespoons sunflower oil or 2 -4 tablespoons olive oil
sour cream, for serving

Steps:

  • Shred the zucchini into a bowl using the large holes of a box grater. Place the grated zucchini in a medium bowl and sprinkle with 1/2 to 1 teaspoon kosher salt. Transfer zucchini to a colander in a bowl and let zucchini drain at least 15 minutes and up to 30 minutes. Using your hands or a towel, squeeze out the excess liquid.
  • Shred the potato into a bowl using the large holes of a box grater.
  • In a bowl, mix together the onion, egg, and flour, and pepper to taste. Add zucchini and potatoes; mix well. Work quickly because the zucchini-potato mixture oxidizes and discolors once hit by the fresh air.
  • Heat 2 to 4 tablespoons of the oil in a large skillet over medium-low heat. When the pan is hot enough to create a small sizzle, ladle the mixture into the pan to form six 4-inch cakes. Fry until golden on the bottom, 7 to 10 minutes. Using a spatula, turn the pancakes over until browned on the second side, about 6 minutes longer.
  • Serve at once with a dollop of sour cream.
