Delicious Zucchini Potato Pancakes Recipe - Easy & Quick

Ingredients

Servings:
6
  • 2 medium zucchini (grated)
  • 2 medium potatoes (peeled and grated)
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon salt (adjust to taste)
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper (freshly ground)
  • 1 cup olive oil (for frying)

Instructions

6 steps

  1. Prepare Vegetables

    Grate zucchini and potatoes using a box grater or food processor.

    Squeeze out excess moisture from zucchini.
  2. Mix Ingredients

    In a large bowl, combine grated zucchini, grated potatoes, flour, eggs, salt, and pepper.

    Mix until well combined.
  3. Heat Oil

    In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat.

    Test the oil by dropping a small amount of batter; it should sizzle.
  4. Form Pancakes

    Scoop about 1/4 cup of the mixture and flatten it into a pancake shape in the skillet.

    Do not overcrowd the skillet.
  5. Cook Pancakes

    Cook each pancake for about 3-4 minutes on each side or until golden brown.

    Adjust heat as necessary to prevent burning.
  6. Drain and Serve

    Transfer cooked pancakes to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.

    Serve hot with sour cream or yogurt.
