Frituras de Calabacín y Patata 🥔🥒

This recipe brings together zucchini, potatoes, and other fresh vegetables to create a dish that’s crispy on the outside, tender on the inside, and packed with natural goodness. It’s versatile, healthy, and sure to impress your family and friends.

Ingredients

• 3 small zucchinis, grated
• 2 medium potatoes, grated
• 1 onion, finely chopped
• 2 carrots, grated
• Fresh parsley, finely chopped
• 2 eggs (optional, for binding)
• 4-5 tablespoons of flour or breadcrumbs (optional, to improve texture)
• Salt and pepper, to taste
• Vegetable oil, for frying

Instructions

1. Prepare the Vegetables

• Wash and peel the zucchinis, potatoes, and carrots.
• Grate the zucchinis, potatoes, and carrots using a box grater. Place the grated zucchini in a clean kitchen towel or cheesecloth and squeeze out the excess liquid. This step is essential for achieving crispy fritters.
• Chop the onion finely and add it to the grated vegetables.

2. Combine the Ingredients

• In a large mixing bowl, combine the grated zucchinis, potatoes, carrots, and onion. Add the chopped parsley and season with salt and pepper to taste.
• If using, crack the eggs into the mixture and stir to combine. Sprinkle in the flour or breadcrumbs to help bind the mixture together. Mix well until everything is evenly incorporated.

3. Shape the Fritters

• Scoop a small handful of the mixture and shape it into a patty or fritter. Repeat with the remaining mixture until you have formed all the fritters.

4. Cook the Fritters

• Heat a generous amount of vegetable oil in a large frying pan over medium heat. Once the oil is hot, place the fritters in the pan, leaving enough space between them to flip easily.
• Fry for 3-4 minutes per side, or until golden brown and crispy. Use a spatula to gently press down on the fritters as they cook to ensure even browning.
• Transfer the cooked fritters to a plate lined with paper towels to absorb any excess oil.

5. Serve and Enjoy

• Serve the fritters hot, garnished with a sprinkle of fresh parsley. They pair wonderfully with sour cream, yoghurt, or a simple side salad.

Tips for Success

1. Remove Excess Moisture
   Squeezing out the liquid from the grated zucchini and potatoes is crucial for achieving crispy fritters. Don’t skip this step!
2. Customise the Seasoning
   Enhance the flavour by adding a pinch of paprika, garlic powder, or your favourite dried herbs like oregano or thyme.
3. Make Them Gluten-Free
   Substitute the flour or breadcrumbs with almond flour or gluten-free breadcrumbs if needed.
4. Bake Instead of Fry
   For a lighter version, bake the fritters on a parchment-lined baking tray at 200°C (400°F) for about 20 minutes, flipping halfway through.
