👨‍🍳 Method

  1. 1
    Place the zucchini in a colander with a little of the salt for 15 minutes, to draw out the liquid.

  2. 2
    Squeeze the liquid out of the zucchini well with your hands.
    💡A grated vegetable is full of water: without squeezing, the mixture is too soft, and the fritters fall apart in the pan and soak up oil.
  3. 3
    In a large bowl, mix the zucchini, garlic, parsley, cheese, eggs, flour, salt and black pepper.

  4. 4
    Shape the mixture into flat rounds 6–7 cm across.
  5. 5
    Heat the oil in a skillet over medium heat and fry the latkes 3–4 minutes on each side, until until golden.

    💡What you brown (meat, patties, schnitzel) goes into hot oil: in lukewarm oil it soaks it up and comes out greasy. For onion and garlic that you soften, oil heated over medium or low heat is enough; do not wait for it to smoke.
  6. 6
    Transfer the latkes to paper towels.

    Serve with Sour cream.
