Zucchini Latkes 

Adapted slightly from http://www.tasteofhome.com/recipes/zucchini-latkes

Ingredients

• 3 medium zucchini or squash, shredded (about 4-1/2 cups)

• 1 teaspoon salt, divided

• 2 eggs, beaten

• 1 small onion, grated

• 1/4 cup matzo meal or dry bread crumbs

• 1/8 teaspoon pepper

• Oil for frying

• Sour cream and applesauce, optional

Directions

• 1 In a large bowl, toss zucchini and 1/2 teaspoon salt; let stand for 10 minutes. Squeeze zucchini in a dish towel to remove water and return to bowl. Also squeeze the onion and place in bowl. Stir in the eggs, matzo meal, pepper and remaining salt.

• 2 In a large skillet (I had success with both non-stick and cast iron), heat oil (enough to coat the pan) over medium heat. Drop batter by tablespoonfuls into oil; press lightly to flatten. Fry for 2 minutes on each side or until golden brown. Transfer to a baking sheet in a 250 F oven for about 10 minutes or more. Serve with sour cream and applesauce if desired. Yield: 16 latkes.
• This was especially delicious with this garlic lemon cream.
