FAQ
What are the main ingredients for these zucchini potato pancakes?
They are based on zucchini and potatoes as the core, with seasonings; the recipe is flexible, so you can add onions, herbs, or other vegetables as you like.
How can I get them crispy without a heavy batter?
Use a hot skillet, squeeze excess moisture from the vegetables, pat dry, use a little oil, and press the pancakes flat while cooking.
Are these dairy free or vegan?
They can be dairy-free and vegan if you skip eggs or dairy and use plant based binders; check the ingredients of your version.
How many servings does the recipe yield?

Store in the fridge for 2–3 days. Reheat in a skillet or oven to restore crispiness.
