The Best Zucchini Patties

I can't for the life of me remember where this recipe came from but I have been making these for about 30 years now. Everyone absolutely loves them. I nearly always double or triple the recipe because we love them as snacks or in our lunch the next day. Go by the recipe and don't add any extra salt as there is enough in the cheese and crackers. Enjoy! P.S. 8-7-09 I have been making this for over 30 yrs. and have never had a problem with watery zucchini. Might just be a climate issue.

SERVES 4 (change servings and units)

Ingredients

  • 1 cup grated zucchini (skins on)
  • 1 cup coarsely crumbled saltine crackers
  • 2 tablespoons chopped onions

  • 1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese

    Great recipe! Loved it. Only recommendation is to let the shredded zucchini dry out some before using. Give it a good squeeze in some paper towels or let it sit in a colander. Taste was fantastic, but because I didn't drain it well, the texture was mushy. DH and kiddos wouldn't eat it because of that. Definitely drain! Thanks, will DEF do this again.

    These are sort of like hashed browns and German potato pancakes---without the potato! Nice flavor, I added a half of a large, fresh onion (grated). I agree with the other reviewer....make plenty! Made for PAC Spring 2008

    These are easy to put together and cooked up nice and crisp. I cooked them on a preheated cast iron griddle with only a minimal amount of olive oil. Made for PAC Spring 2008
