Steps

Preparation

Grate the zucchini and potatoes on a large-holed grater. Place them in a colander, sprinkle lightly with salt, and let sit for 10 minutes, then thoroughly squeeze out any excess water. Peel and grate the onion, and crush half of the garlic cloves.

Mixing the Batter

In a large bowl, combine the squeezed zucchini and potatoes with the grated onion, crushed garlic, flour, eggs, marjoram, salt, and pepper. Mix well until you get a uniform batter.

Frying

Heat a generous amount of oil in a frying pan over medium heat. Spoon small portions of the batter into the hot oil, flatten them slightly, and fry both sides until golden brown, about 3-4 minutes per side. After frying, place them on paper towels to drain excess oil.

Garlic Sour Cream

While the latkes are frying, prepare the garlic sour cream. Crush the remaining garlic cloves, mix them with the sour cream, a pinch of salt, and pepper. You can also add fresh parsley to taste.

Serving

Serve the warm zucchini latkes with the fresh garlic sour cream. Garnish with fresh herbs like dill or parsley for an even more delicious experience.

Extra Tips

► After grating the zucchini and potatoes, squeeze out as much excess water as possible to ensure crispier latkes.

► Don't overcrowd the pan while frying; cook in batches for even browning.

► Let the garlic sour cream sit for at least 10 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld.
