👨‍🍳 Method

  1. 1
    Squeeze the liquid out of the zucchini and onion well with a kitchen towel.
    💡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.
  2. 2
    In a large bowl, mix the zucchini, onion, eggs, flour, cinnamon, salt and black pepper.

  3. 3
    Shape the mixture into flat fritters, 1 heaping tbsp each.
  4. 4
    Heat the oil in a skillet over medium heat and fry the latkes 4–5 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.
  5. 5
    Transfer the latkes to paper towels.

    Serve with Sour cream.
