PARMESAN ONION ZUCCHINI FRITTERS
Highly addicting!
1 large green zucchini
1 large potato, peeled, cooked, mashed and set aside
½ yellow onion, finely chopped
3 tablespoons grated parmesan cheese
2 eggs
small handful chopped parsley
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon black pepper
1 cup multi grain baking mix (I used Trader Joe's multi grain baking and pancake mix).
Grate zucchini with a medium sized grater so you get decent shreds of zucchini.
Add a pinch of salt and place shredded zucchini in a clean dishtowel and squeeze to get as much liquid out of it as possible. You should end up with about 1 cup.
In a large bowl, add all ingredients. Mix well with a fork. In a large saute pan, heat enough vegetable oil to coat the bottom of the pan, (plus a teeny bit more), on medium, low. When oil is ready, drop fritters (gently) in pan in one heaping teaspoon size balls. Flatten gently with a spatula, and let cook for 2-3 minutes on each side or until a nice golden brown color. Drain any excess oil on paper towels before serving.
