Ingredients
For the Dipping Sauce
- ½ cup yogurt plain, Greek
- ¼ cup feta cheese
- 2 tablespoons mint finely chopped, fresh
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice fresh
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 garlic clove, grated
- salt Kosher salt and freshly cracked, to taste
- black pepper Kosher salt and freshly cracked, to taste
For the Fritters
- 2 zucchini ends trimmed
- 1 potato peeled, small Yukon Gold variety
- 1 yellow onion diced
- 2 teaspoons kosher salt
- 2 egg
- 2 cloves garlic finely chopped
- ½ teaspoon cumin ground
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon red pepper flakes
- 3 tablespoons parsley finely chopped, fresh
- 2 tablespoons mint finely chopped, fresh
- ⅓ cup flour
- ½ teaspoon baking powder
- ½ cup vegetable oil or any other oil you prefer to sear / fry in
Instructions
For the Yogurt Dipping Sauce
- Combine all the ingredients in a blender and pulse until smooth. Set aside. Chill if needed
For the Fritters
- Grate the zucchini, potato, and onion on a box grater. Transfer to a colander and toss with 2 tsp. salt. Let vegetables sit until they release their liquid, 30−40 minutes. Then squeeze out any excess moisture until super dry.
- In a large bowl, mix the eggs, garlic, cumin, garlic powder, red pepper flakes, parsley, and mint in a medium bowl and season with salt and pepper. Add the vegetables to the bowl with egg mixture and stir to combine. Sprinkle flour and baking powder over and mix gently.
- Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high. Working in batches, spoon scoops of mixture into skillet, flattening gently with a spatula. Cook until golden brown and crisp, about 3 minutes per side. Transfer to a wire rack to let any excess oil drain off and season with salt. Serve alongside the feta yogurt sauce and top with more herbs if desired.
Notes
- Of course this sauce pairs well with zucchini fritters, but also it’s amazing on steak, chicken, vegetables, grain bowls or as a dip for some oven fries. It’s truly a miracle sauce that you should start prepping in bulk.
