Zucchini Potato Latkes
- 2 medium zucchini
- 4 large potatoes, peeled,cut to fit a food processor feed tube,and placed in bowl of water to prevent discoloration (see note)
- 4 eggs
- 2 -4 tablespoons flour or 2 -4 tablespoons fine matzo meal, during passover
- 1 large onion, quartered
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh dill
- salt
- fresh ground black pepper
- canola oil or other vegetable oil, for frying
- NOTE: For best latke consistency, half the raw potatoes are grated using the chopping blade of a food processor, half with its fine grating disc.
- Or use a hand box-grater, grating half the potatoes on the large-hole side, the remainder on the fine-hole.
- The latkes can be made cocktail size-they're great passed with drinks.
- In a food processor fitted with a fine grating disk, grate the zucchini.
- Squeeze out any extra liquid and place in a large bowl.
- Grate half the potatoes in the food processor with the grating disc, or on the finest side of a box-grater, and squeeze out any liquid.
- Quickly add the potatoes to the zucchini.
- Add the eggs and the flour until the mixture is no longer runny and stir to blend.
- In the processor fitted with a metal blade, pulse-chop the onion and remaining potato finely, or grate the potato only on the large-hole side of a box-grater and combine with the onions.
- Add to the zucchini-potato mixture.
- Add the dill and season to taste with the salt and pepper.
- Stir to blend well.
- In a large, heavy skillet, heat 1/8 to 1/4 inch of vegetable oil over medium heat.
- Stir the batter if it appears to have separated.
- When the oil is hot (a drop of the potato mixture added to it will sizzle immediately), spoon quarter-cups of the mixture, or tablespoons for cocktail lakes, into the oil.
- Do not crowd.
- Brown the pancakes on both sides, about 5 minutes total.
- They are ready to be turned over when the sides are turning brown.
- Drain them on brown paper or paper towels and keep warm while preparing additional batches.
