Ingredient
Zucchini (grated): 1
Carrot (grated): 1
Potato (grated): 1
Eggs: 2
Salt: ¼ tsp (adjust to taste)
Flour (optional): 2 tbsp (for better binding)
Olive Oil: For frying
Directions
1. Prepare Vegetables:
Grate the zucchini, carrot, and potato (peeling the potato is optional). Lightly squeeze out excess moisture for crispier pancakes.
2. Mix Ingredients:
Combine the grated vegetables with eggs, salt, and flour in a bowl. Stir well. If the mixture feels too wet, add a little extra flour.
3. Heat the Skillet:
Place a non-stick pan over medium heat. Add about a tablespoon of olive oil.
4. Shape the Pancakes:
Scoop spoonfuls of the mixture into the pan, shaping them into small patties. Press down gently with the back of the spoon to flatten.
5. Cook Until Golden:
Pan-fry each side for 3–4 minutes or until golden and cooked through.
6. Serve Hot:
Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil. Enjoy warm.
Optional Additions
Stir in chopped herbs like parsley or dill for fresh flavor.
Add spices like cumin or paprika for a kick.
Serve with Greek yogurt or sour cream for extra creaminess and protein.
Pair with a side salad for a complete, satisfying meal.
