In a medium to large frying pan over medium heat, add the olive oil. Drop a heaping tablespoon full of the zucchini mixture, cook until browned on both sides. Drain on a paper towel lined plate and serve.

What is the best sauce?

I like to serve a side of mayo and green onion mixture, or a garlic aioli, some like a dollop of sour cream or even a yogurt dip would work.

Making the perfect patties

Grate the zucchini then with clean hands, squeeze the grated zucchini well to remove as much as possible of the excess moisture, then place in the bowl.

How to store them

Any leftover fritters should be stored in the fridge in an air tight container. They will keep for about 4-5 days.
