Mixed Vegetable Patties Recipe

Ingredients:

• 2 medium potatoes, peeled and grated
• 1 large carrot, peeled and grated
• 1 medium zucchini, grated
• 1 small red onion, finely chopped
• 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
• 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
• 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
• 1/2 cup breadcrumbs
• 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
• 1/2 teaspoon ground coriander
• 1/2 teaspoon paprika
• Salt and pepper to taste
• 1 large egg, beaten
• Olive oil for frying

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Vegetables:
   • Place the grated potatoes, grated carrot, and grated zucchini in a clean kitchen towel and squeeze out as much moisture as possible. This step is crucial to ensure the patties hold together and are not too wet.
2. Mix the Ingredients:
   • In a large bowl, combine the grated potatoes, grated carrot, grated zucchini, chopped red onion, chopped parsley, and chopped cilantro.
   • Add the flour, breadcrumbs, ground cumin, ground coriander, paprika, salt, and pepper. Mix well until all the ingredients are evenly combined.
   • Add the beaten egg to the mixture and mix until well incorporated.
3. Form the Patties:
   • Take a handful of the mixture and shape it into a small patty. Repeat with the remaining mixture.
4. Heat the Oil:
   • In a large skillet, heat a generous amount of olive oil over medium-high heat.
5. Fry the Patties:
   • Carefully place the vegetable patties in the hot oil. Fry for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and crispy. You may need to do this in batches to avoid overcrowding the skillet.
6. Drain and Serve:
   • Once cooked, transfer the patties to a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil.
   • Serve warm, and enjoy your delicious mixed vegetable patties!

These vegetable patties are perfect as a snack, appetizer, or even a main dish. They can be served with a dipping sauce of your choice, such as yogurt dip, tzatziki, or a spicy mayo. Enjoy!
