Ingredients

  • 2 lb. zucchini
  • 2 large russet or baking potatoes
  • 1 medium onion
  • 3 large eggs
  • vegetable oil
  • 3/4 c. matzah meal
  • salt and pepper

Instructions

  1. Peel the zucchini and grate down to the seeds (discard the seeds). Squeeze out the liquid.
  2. Peel the potatoes and grate into the zucchini. As in the previous recipe, remove the liquid. This is important!
  3. Grate the onion and add to the zucchini mixture. Add the eggs, 1 teaspoon of oil, and the matzah meal, starting with 1/2 cup meal and continuing to add more if necessary, until there is body to the mixture. Season with salt and pepper to taste and blend well.
  4. In a large, heavy frying pan, heat a thin film of oil until almost smoking. Using a large oiled tablespoon, spoon round portions of zucchini mixture into the pan and brown on both sides. Serve hot with sour cream or applesauce.
