Instructions

1

Prepare the zucchini: Grate the zucchinis using a box grater. Place the grated zucchini in a clean kitchen towel and squeeze out as much liquid as possible.

2

Mix ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the grated zucchini, grated onion, beaten eggs, flour, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder. Stir until well combined.

3

Heat the oil: Pour enough vegetable oil into a large skillet to cover the bottom by about 1/4 inch. Heat over medium-high heat until shimmering.

4

Form the latkes: Scoop about 2 tablespoons of the zucchini mixture per latke and flatten slightly into small patties. Carefully place them into the hot oil.

5

Fry the latkes: Cook for 3-4 minutes per side, or until golden brown and crispy. Adjust the heat if necessary to prevent burning.

6

Drain and serve: Transfer the cooked latkes to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil. Serve warm with sour cream or applesauce.

Chef's Tips

  • Squeeze well: Removing excess moisture from the zucchini ensures crispier latkes.
  • Uniform size: Keep latkes similar in size for even cooking.
  • Oil temperature: Make sure the oil is hot enough before frying to prevent soggy latkes.
  • Batch cooking: Fry in batches to avoid overcrowding the pan.
  • Storage: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days. Reheat in the oven for best texture.
