Steps:
- Finely shred potatoes. Soak potatoes in cold water to remove starch. (A flour sack towel works well for this- place towel in a bowl with edges hanging over the sides. Put the potatoes in the bowl and cover them with cold water.) After 10-15 minutes squeeze out potatoes, rinse bowl, and repeat the soaking process one or two more times as needed to remove all the "pink," or "white" starch which sinks to the bottom of the bowl.
- While potatoes are soaking finely chop the parsley, and finely shred the zucchini and onion. Put onion and zucchini in a colander to drain off excess juice. You can carefully press out even more juice. The key to the success of these latkes is washing the starch from the potatoes and removing any excess liquid from the vegetables.
- After the final soak, squeeze out as much water as possible from the potatoes. If using a towel, then twist the top of the towel continuously, squeezing the potatoes into a ball, and wringing out all the fluid. Combine potatoes, zucchini, onion, parsley, salt, herb seasoning, eggs and flour in a large bowl and mix well.
- Heat oil in a medium skillet until the surface is shimmering. Add large spoonfuls of latke batter to the oil and shape them into pancakes about 1/4 inch thick. Fry until golden brown (approximately 6 minutes each side).
Tips:
- Choose the right zucchini. For the best latkes, use zucchini that is firm and has a deep green color. Avoid zucchini that is soft or has yellowing skin.
- Grate the zucchini finely. This will help the latkes to cook evenly and prevent them from becoming too watery.
- Squeeze out the excess moisture from the zucchini. This will help the latkes to be crispy.
- Use a good quality oil. A high-heat oil, such as grapeseed or canola oil, is best for frying the latkes.
- Don't overcrowd the pan. When frying the latkes, make sure to leave enough space between them so that they can cook evenly.
- Cook the latkes until they are golden brown and crispy. This will ensure that they are cooked through.
Conclusion:
Zucchini latkes are a delicious and easy-to-make side dish or appetizer. They are perfect for using up extra zucchini and can be served with a variety of dipping sauces. With a few simple tips, you can make perfect zucchini latkes every time.
