Appetizer or side dish..I know you think of a fritter as fried and yes they taste better, but this is a healthy baked version with taters in them. I make these when I have lots of summer zucchini squash and leftover mashed potatoes.. They go great with any meal.
A mixture of mashed potato, zucchini, cheese, bread crumbs and spices then baked...no eggs!The inside is soft with a cheesey garlic flavor.
1/2 small zucchini grated or half a large one pulse in food processor
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder, cayenne pepper, parsley, oregano, salt, pepper
1/4 cup Italian flavored bread crumbs or more to hold together, should be a firm drop mixture
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
2 tablespoon grating cheese
optional 2 tablespoon olive oil
Mix grated zukes and mashed potato all together, add cheese and spices, drop by tablespoons on a parchment lined cookie sheet bake at 400 until cheese is golden brown on top.
I could eat this as a main with some sour cream!!!
ReplyDeleteBoy - a few of these make more than an appetizer. Thanks for another idea for all that zucchini at the Farmer's Market.
ReplyDeleteHow about a plate of these right about now! I agree, some sour cream on them would be fabulous!
ReplyDeleteBon appetit!

ReplyDeleteHi Claudia. Great fritters. The guys don't like zucchini unless it's raw, too soggy for them. Bet they would like these. I love zucchini and this one just might be my big out! Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeletewhat a lovely recipe--I agree it could be a main dish even!
ReplyDeletewow, these look like perfect finger food for a party! Maybe with creme fraiche
ReplyDeleteSomething I've never thought about combining - mashed potatoes and zucchini. Sounds wonderful - and pretty darned healthy if you make the mashed potatoes with low fat sour cream...
ReplyDeleteThese look so amazing, and baked:)
