Fried veggie fritters
I had such beautiful veggies that they were simply asking to be used in a recipe that celebrates their flavor. And this recipe does just that.
You can switch up the veggies in this fritter recipe for a classic family dinner, add a delicious dip and you’re good to go. These fritters are simply perfect, and as tasty as can be.
Makes 20 fritters
Ingredients:
2 medium potatoes
1 large carrot
1 zucchini, with skin on, scrubbed
1 small sweet potato
1 medium onion
2 cloves of garlic
3 Tbsp flour
1 egg
1/2 cup chopped parsley
1 Tbsp green onion, chopped
1 tsp salt
Preparation:
1. Cut the potato into three. Bring a pot of water to a boil and cook the potato until it is soft enough to mash.
2. Dice the onion. Heat 2 Tbsp of oil in a pan and add the onion. Sauté until golden. Chop the garlic and add to the pan. Remove from heat.
3. Grate the remaining veggies and place in a bowl. Add the other ingredients and mix.
4. Form patties and flatten somewhat. Heat a pan with oil and fry on both sides until golden. Transfer to a plate lined with paper towel.
5. If you want to bake, not fry: Preheat an oven to 180°C. Line a tray with parchment paper and place fritters on the paper. Bake for around 25 minutes or until golden. Don’t try and flip the fritters before the time is up. Flip and bake on the other side for 15 minutes or until golden.
*6. Serve a stack of fritters with sour cream dip, sundried tomato focaccia, pizza, lentil soup, and think about how sweet life is.

The batter cannot be made ahead of time. Work quickly because a lot of water will drain out of the vegetables.
