Delightfully simple and customizable fritters made with zucchini, potatoes, onion, and optional ingredients like bell pepper and kale. Perfectly crispy when cooked, these fritters are a great way to use up various vegetables.
1: Rinse zucchini and grate into a mixing bowl.
2: Peel and grate potatoes and onion into the bowl, then drain excess liquid by pressing mixture into a fine sieve or through cheesecloth.
3: Finely dice red bell pepper, chop or shred kale, and add both to the mixture.
4: Add salt, pepper, garlic powder, herbs, and flour, and mix together until well incorporated.
5: Roll mixture into balls and flatten into 2-3 inch patties. If too wet, add more flour a little at a time until it holds together.
6: Fill a frying pan with vegetable oil at least 1/2 inch deep. Cook fritters on medium to medium-high heat until golden brown, about 3-4 minutes each side.
7: Once cooked, remove from pan, sprinkle with sea salt, and allow to cool for a minute before serving.
8: For leftovers, reheat in a non-stick pan, with or without oil, before eating.
