My garden zucchini aren't trustworthy! Left alone, even for a few hours, they grow from a nice manageable length to baseball bat size! They are amazing veggies! I am now asking everyone I know, "Wouldn't YOU like a DELICIOUS zucchini?" We have given zucchini to all the relatives and many friends and now I am asking my nail girl, hairdresser, postal clerk and even the dog groomer!
Zucchini Latkes are a StoneGable favorite. Crisp, light and so yummy, this recipe is a winner! They freeze well, so I make big batches!
We make these a meal all by themselves! I hope you will use up a few zucchini ( or a whole bunch, if they are in your garden) making this scrumptious recipe!
StoneGable Zucchini Latkes
3-4 medium size zucchini
2-3 non baking potatoes
1 large onion, peeled and finely chopped
2 eggs, scrambled in a separate bowl
1/2 cup flour, more or less
1 tsp salt
1/2 tsp pepper
vegetable oil
Grate the zucchini and put into a colander.
Put a plate over the zucchini with a heavy weight on the top, such as a cast iron pan or canister. Let it sit in the sink for 20 minutes letting the extra liquid release from the zucchini. Squeeze liquid from zucchini and put into a large mixing bowl.
Peel and grate the potatoes. Add to zucchini. Add eggs, onions, flour, salt and pepper. Add just enough flour to hold it all together loosely. Mix together. Zucchini batter will be wet.
Heat a couple of TBS veggie oil in a large saute pan over medium heat. When the oil is hot. Drop a heaping TBS or 2 of the zucchini mixture in the pan and flatten out. I can cook 4 latkes at a time. Make in batches.
Cook on one side until brown. I like my latkes crispy so I let them get very brown, about 4-5 minutes.
Turn and cook until crisp on the other side.
Hold them in a warm oven.
Serve with sour cream and snipped chives.
Enjoy!

This looks delicious, Yvonne! What a great way to use a bumper crop of zucchini! And it's great that it can be frozen, too. This definitely goes in my recipe file!

When I lived in a country community where we all had gardens I never once planted zucchinni but always had all I wanted!! It is a prolific grower. One Sunday morning as we came into church there was a pile of zucchini in the foyer with a note saying if we didn't want to see it there next week we should take some home!! LOL These latkes look great so now I'll have to buy the zucchini and make them:-)
ReplyDeleteI love latkes but have never tried zucchini latkes. Now I will have to try them! They look delicious!
ReplyDeleteI wish that I lived closer, I would take some of those beauties off your hands! I bet the latkes are as delicious as they look too. I think I need a trip to the farmer's market this weekend!
ReplyDeleteMr. P will love this. Thanks for sharing, definetly going in the must do files. I'm so glad it can be frozen.. hugs ~lynne~
ReplyDeletecoming RIGHT up with filets on the grill
ReplyDeletehubby's birthday and all!!!
these look fabulous
I sure WISH I was your neighbor!! I had to go out & BUY zucchini to make my quiche that you reminded me about. We used to grow it but not enough room here now.
ReplyDeleteThese look positively scrumptious! I'd like mine extra browned, too. Maybe I'll have to go BACK to the store for more zucchini, just to try this recipe. DH will love you for it, I'm sure. Me too!
Thanks!
fondly,

When you say "3-4 medium sized latkes" I believe you mean zucchini, don't you? Sorry, I'm a proofreader!
ReplyDeleteThese look delicious! Another way to use up zucchini is to slice them thin, lay out in a single layer on a greased cookie sheet, and sprinkle with feta and drizzle with honey. Bake @350 40 minutes or until they are golden brown. This is so good I eat it for breakfast:>) We are still waiting for our zucchini to produce.
ReplyDeleteThose looks so scrumptious!! Yummy..printing the recipe now, I would love to make a batch just for myself!
ReplyDeleteWe love latkes so I guess I will go BUY some zucchini and make these! They look wonderful! Thanks for the recipe! XO, Pinky
ReplyDeleteWe love zucchini latkes...by the way, you aren't supposed to ask anyone if they want any zukes, you just leave a sack with them!
ReplyDeleteSee that's the problem Yvonne... don't ask... just leave one in the mailbox with the flag up! Gotta love the overachieving zukes, and this is a wonderful use for them-enjoy:@)
ReplyDeleteThey look so delicious!
ReplyDeleteThese look wonderfully delicious, Yvonne...I have to try it! Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteYum!

Yvonne -- what a great idea to mae zucchini latkes to use up all those baseball-sized zucchini -- I have had fried zucchini before and liked it so I know these would be good. Joni
ReplyDeleteThese look delicious, Yvonne, and you even make the humble zucchini look elegant. xo,
ReplyDeleteYvonne...these look like a wonderful summer supper :)
ReplyDeleteBlessings!

YUM and so awesome that your garden is over flowing. I am impressed! So healthy too.
ReplyDeleteoh my honey ... these were fabulous ... i added crispy bacon pieces and ooohlala
ReplyDeletealso I think I/2 flour means cup, right?
and 2 eggs scrambles means scrambled, right ...
I can translate ... ANYWAY
the best thing I've made all summer
p.s. I'm not a proofreaDER ... HAHAHA
They look fabulous! With all the zucchini I have, I will be trying this recipe for sure! YUM!!!
ReplyDeleteOf course you KNOW this why you can't leave your car doors unlocked in the summer Lancaster County. Someone will put a zucchini in the back seat!!
ReplyDeleteYour recipe for the latkes, minus the zucchini, is pretty much like the recipe for what we call around here...potato pancakes! I love potato pancakes and fried zucchini so, together, they have to be delicious. So, adding the zucchini to my "potato pancakes" would be a breeze and then I could call them "latkes"! Thanks for the yummy recipe ;)
ReplyDeleteThanks for the recipe. I have made a few veggie type pancake type recipes before, but not this one. Yours looks very good. Since I love zucchinni and am always looking for new ways to make it, I know I'd love them!
ReplyDeleteI am so delighted that you posted this recipe! Growing up, my mom would make zucchini pancakes and I always loved them, could not get enough of them! I am making these for sure.
ReplyDeleteHappy Monday! xo
Your site is so gorgeous! I am enjoying it to the utmost. Is there anyway you could put a Print by your recipes so that we could print them out without the entire post? It would be helpful. Thank you.
ReplyDeleteThis look wonderful. And yes, I'm growing zucchini!! I'm copying this recipe for sure.
