Time 24m

Yield 10 (3-inch) pancakes

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 medium zucchini (about 3/4 pound)
2 tablespoons grated red onion
2 extra-large eggs, lightly beaten
6 to 8 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
Unsalted butter and vegetable oil

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 300 degrees F.
  • Grate the zucchini into a bowl using the large grating side of a box grater. Immediately stir in the onion and eggs. Stir in 6 tablespoons of the flour, the baking powder, salt, and pepper. (If the batter gets too thin from the liquid in the zucchini, add the remaining 2 tablespoons of flour.)
  • Heat a large (10 to 12-inch) saute pan over medium heat and melt 1/2 tablespoon butter and 1/2 tablespoon oil together in the pan. When the butter is hot but not smoking, lower the heat to medium-low and drop heaping soup spoons of batter into the pan. Cook the pancakes about 2 minutes on each side, until browned. Place the pancakes on a sheet pan and keep warm in the oven. Wipe out the pan with a dry paper towel, add more butter and oil to the pan, and continue to fry the pancakes until all the batter is used. The pancakes can stay warm in the oven for up to 30 minutes. Serve hot.

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.

SPICY ZUCCHINI



Spicy Zucchini image

This was so good last night, I don't want to forget what I did! This was a great side dish for cheese enchiladas. Adjust the seasonings according to your tastes and the age of your kids. I used the lower end for my 6yo (who ate it without protest) and 20mo (who was not so fond of it). If I were to cook this for just the adults at my house, I would use the upper end. I used really small zucchini for this, less than an inch in diameter and about 5-6 inches long.

Provided by CraftScout

Categories     Vegetable

Time 10m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 tablespoon olive oil
1/4 onion, thinly sliced
4 small zucchini
1 -3 teaspoon garlic powder
1 -3 teaspoon chili powder
1 teaspoon salt

Steps:

  • Place oil in a large, heavy non-stick skillet and begin heating over medium high heat.
  • Meanwhile, slice onion and cut zucchini into 1/4" rounds.
  • Once oil is nice and hot, saute onion until it is starting to carmelize (about 2 minutes).
  • Add zucchini and seasonings. Turn heat down slightly (to medium), and cook for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  • Zucchini should be yellow with some brown spots, slightly transparent looking and soft without being mushy. Onions should be thoroughly carmelized and yummy. :).

Tips:

  • Use fresh vegetables: Fresh zucchini and potatoes will give your pancakes the best flavor and texture.
  • Shred the vegetables finely: This will help them cook evenly.
  • Squeeze out the excess moisture from the vegetables: This will help prevent the pancakes from becoming soggy.
  • Use a well-seasoned cast iron skillet: This will help the pancakes cook evenly and prevent them from sticking.
  • Cook the pancakes over medium heat: This will help them cook through without burning.
  • Serve the pancakes immediately: They are best when served hot and crispy.

Conclusion:

These spicy potato and zucchini pancakes are a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer or side dish. They are perfect for a quick and easy weeknight meal, or for a special occasion. Serve them with your favorite dipping sauce, such as sour cream, yogurt, or salsa.
