Serving Size: 6

Cooking Time: 30 minutes

Ingredients

• 2.5 Cups grated zucchini, grated
• 1 Cup peeled potatoes, shredded
• 1 Cup carrots, shredded
• 0.5 Teaspoons (tsp) kosher salt
• 1 Pinch salt, to taste
• 3 Large eggs, whisked
• 1 Pinch black pepper, ground
• 0.75 Cups matzo meal
• 0.5 Cups fresh parsley, minced
• 0.5 Cups feta cheese, crumbled
• 0.25 Cups vegetable oil, divided
• 1 Pinch vegetable oil, as needed

Steps

1. Prepare Vegetables: Place the grated zucchini, shredded potatoes, and carrots in a colander. Cover with paper towels or cheesecloth and squeeze out as much moisture as possible. Sprinkle with 0.5 teaspoons of kosher salt and let them drain for 15 minutes. Squeeze again to remove any remaining moisture.
2. Mix Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the whisked eggs, drained vegetables, a pinch of salt, and ground black pepper. Mix well. Stir in the matzo meal, minced parsley, and crumbled feta cheese until well incorporated.
3. Form Latkes: Heat a portion of the vegetable oil in a large frying pan over medium heat. Form the vegetable mixture into pancake-sized cakes and carefully place them in the hot oil.
4. Fry Latkes: Fry the latkes for about 2 to 3 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and crispy. Add additional vegetable oil as needed to ensure even frying.
5. Drain and Serve: Once cooked, transfer the latkes to a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil. Serve hot, garnished with additional parsley if desired.
