Add a little crunch to your next breakfast or brunch with these Crispy Zucchini Potato Pancakes.
When it comes to perfectly crispy potato pancakes you might think using extra oil is the way to go. We’re here to tell you that just isn’t the case. The key to crispy golden brown sides is removing as much moisture from your vegetables as possible.
When it comes to cooking, browning and moisture just don’t mix, so be sure to squeeze your potatoes, zucchini, and onions extra hard before mixing. You will get crispy browned edges, and a nice little workout before breakfast!
