Ingredients:

  • 500g zucchini
  • 200g carrots
  • 300g potatoes
  • Green garlic (to taste)
  • 2-3 garlic cloves
  • 100g grated cheese

Method:

  1. Prepare the Vegetables: Start by washing the zucchini, carrots, and potatoes thoroughly. Peel the carrots and potatoes. Grate all the vegetables into a large bowl.
  2. Remove Excess Moisture: Place the grated zucchini in a clean kitchen towel or cheesecloth and squeeze out as much excess moisture as possible. This step is crucial to ensure the fritters turn out crispy.
  3. Mix the Ingredients: Add the grated carrots and potatoes to the bowl with the zucchini. Mince the garlic cloves and finely chop the green garlic, then add them to the bowl. Mix in the grated cheese and season with salt and pepper to taste.
  4. Form the Fritters: Combine all the ingredients thoroughly. Take small portions of the mixture and form them into patties or fritters.
  5. Cook the Fritters: Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add a small amount of oil. Place the fritters in the skillet, making sure not to overcrowd them. Fry each side for approximately 3-4 minutes, or until they achieve a golden brown and crispy texture.
  6. Serve: Once cooked, transfer the fritters to a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil. Serve warm with a dipping sauce of your choice, such as Greek yogurt or a simple garlic dip.
