Fritters are at their crispiest when fresh out of the skillet, but you can prepare them hours ahead and set aside. When ready to serve, transfer the fritters to a foil-lined baking sheet (for easy cleanup) and reheat in a 400°F oven until heated through, 6 to 8 minutes. Place them on a bed of greens like arugula for a light meatless main dish. Or to serve these fritters as hors d’oeuvres, cook up heaping tablespoon measures of the batter, making about 18 small fritters. Arrange them on a serving tray and top each fritter with a little sour cream and a sprinkling of snipped fresh chives.

Ingredients

Uncooked red potato

4 oz, peeled

Uncooked zucchini

1 small

Carrots

1 small, coarsely grated

Scallions

1 medium, finely chopped

Egg whites

1 large

All-purpose flour

1 Tbsp

Table salt

½ tsp

Black pepper

¼ tsp

Canola oil

1 Tbsp

Instructions

  1. Put the potato in a saucepan with boiling water to cover. Cook about 6 minutes; drain. Cover with cold water to cool.
  2. Meanwhile, coarsely grate the zucchini onto a double layer of paper towels; spread the zucchini out and let stand 3 minutes to drain. Combine the zucchini with the carrot, scallion, egg white, flour, salt, and pepper in a large bowl. Drain the potato, pat dry, then coarsely grate over the zucchini mixture.
  3. Heat the oil on a large nonstick griddle or in a large nonstick skillet. Drop the batter onto the griddle by 1/4-cup measures, making a total of 6 fritters. Cook until golden, about 3 minutes on each side. Yields 3 fritters per serving.
