Crisp on the outside but delicate and creamy on the interior. These simple potato fritters with zucchini and cheddar cheese are the ideal comfort food for the day.
Why you’ll love this homemade potato fritters recipe:
Perfect texture. Only crispy potatoes and zucchini will suffice! These potato fritters are beautifully crispy on the outside, tender on the inside, and just the proper amount of salt to make it difficult to stop at one.
Healthy. While I enjoy treating myself from time to time when dining out, I prefer to keep things healthy at home. Unlike restaurant potato fritters, these are prepared on the stovetop rather than in a deep fryer. They also contain an additional generous serving of healthful zucchini (similar to these Zucchini Enchiladas).
Versatile. These potato fritters are a fantastic addition to any meal, anytime! Serve them as a side dish with supper (I recommend Fish & Chips), over a poached egg for breakfast (like these Leftover Stuffing Cakes), or as a comforting snack.
Recipe Variations:
- No Zucchini Potato Fritters. Omit the zucchini and create this meal with only potatoes.
- Zucchini fritters. For those who prefer a crispy fritter made entirely from zucchini.
- Potato fritters with herbs. Add chopped fresh herbs to this dish (such as parsley, basil, dill, or any other herb you want).
- Spicy potato fritters. Use spices such as red pepper flakes or cayenne pepper to add heat. Just a sprinkle of either will provide spiciness.
- Sweet potato fritters. I haven’t tried this recipe with sweet potatoes, but my Sweet Potato Hash Browns recipe is quite similar and extremely tasty!
A simple recipe for potato fritters with zucchini and cheddar cheese. They’re wonderfully crispy, cheesy, and quite delicious.
