Steps to Make Stuffed Potato and Zucchini Patties
Prepare the Vegetable Patties:
Grate the potatoes and zucchini into a large bowl. Place the grated vegetables in a clean kitchen towel or cheesecloth and squeeze out as much moisture as possible. This step helps ensure the patties hold together and crisp up when fried.
Add the chopped peppers, onion, and parsley to the bowl. Crack in the eggs, and sprinkle in the flour, salt, and black pepper. Mix everything well until you get a cohesive mixture that can be shaped into patties. If the mixture feels too wet, add a bit more flour.
