Ingredients
- 1 carrot grated
- 1 potato grated
- 1 zucchini grated
- 2 eggs beaten
- 1 teaspoon salt or to taste
- 2 tablespoons flour
- Olive oil for frying
Instructions
- Prepare the Vegetables: Wash and peel the carrot and potato, then grate them using a box grater or food processor. Grate the zucchini as well, and place all the grated vegetables in a large bowl.
- Remove Excess Moisture: Using a clean kitchen towel or cheesecloth, squeeze the grated vegetables to remove as much excess moisture as possible. This will help the fritters hold together better and become crispier when fried.
- Mix the Batter: In the bowl with the grated vegetables, add the beaten eggs, salt, and flour. Mix everything together until well combined. The mixture should be slightly sticky and hold its shape when pressed.
- Form the Fritters: Using your hands, form small patties or fritters from the vegetable mixture, about 2-3 inches in diameter. Place them on a plate or tray as you shape them.
- Heat the Oil: Heat a thin layer of olive oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium heat. When the oil is heated, gently add the fritters to the skillet, ensuring not to crowd the pan.
- Fry the Fritters: Cook the fritters for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and crispy. Use a spatula to carefully flip them.
- Drain and Serve: Once cooked, remove the fritters from the skillet and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil. Serve them hot with a side of yogurt or your favorite dipping sauce.
