My husband, Avi, and I carry prepare these delicious latkes with our children, Sara, 10, and Yaakov, 5. This year, Sara is old enough to help make the latkes (the oil can get very hot, so be careful). I serve my latkes with sour cream, cottage cheese and applesauce, plus a salad on the side.

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:
- Use a large grater to ensure the zucchini and potatoes are grated evenly and finely. This will help them bind together better when cooking.
- Squeeze the grated zucchini and potatoes thoroughly to remove as much excess moisture as possible. This will help prevent the latkes from becoming soggy.
- Be sure to heat the oil over medium-high heat before adding the latkes. This will help them brown evenly and prevent them from sticking to the pan.
- Don't overcrowd the pan when cooking the latkes. This will also prevent them from sticking together and ensure they cook evenly.
- Serve the latkes immediately with your favorite toppings, such as tzatziki sauce, sour cream, or applesauce.
Conclusion:
These zucchini potato latkes are a delicious and easy-to-make side dish that is perfect for any occasion. They are crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, and the zesty tzatziki sauce adds a refreshing touch. Whether you are serving them for breakfast, lunch, or dinner, these latkes are sure to be a hit.
