Instructions
 

Zucchini and Potato Preparation

  • Grate your Zucchinis using a Grater or Food Processor. Place in a bowl lined with a cheese cloth and sprinkle some salt over it and mix. This helps draw out the water. Let it sit for 5-10 minutes. Squeeze out as much water as possible as this will assist in crisping up during cooking process. Place in a bowl.
  • Grate your Potatoes and place into cheese cloth. Squeeze out the water and place in the bowl with the Zucchini.
  • Add the Cheese Blend, Egg, Panko Bread Crumbs, Salt & Pepper. Using your hand or spoon, mix ingredients being sure to incorporate all together.

Frying

  • Fill Skillet with oil about 1 inch deep. Heat on medium.
  • Form one small fritter about 2 inches in diameter and gently placed in oil to give a test run. If it stays together, we are good to proceed with placing more in oil. Do not overcrowd. Fry on one side for 3-4 minutes or until golden brown. Flip over and continue frying additional 3-4 minutes or until side two is golden brown. Remove and place on paper towel lined dish. Sprinkle with salt. Continue the frying process until all are done.
    ***If it doesn't stay together during frying process, the batter is too wet. Sprinkle a couple more tablespoons of flour and mix to help the binding process.

Lemony Garlic & Cilantro Dip

  • In a small bowl, add Sourcream, Garlic, Lemon Juice, Cilantro and a generous pinch of Salt & Pepper. Stir to incorporate and taste to see if additional seasoning is needed. Place in refrigerator until ready to use.
