Zucchini LATKES

My go-to summer cakes.

Makes 10-12 latkes

1 Package of Rebel Zucchini Latkes

2 ½ cups grated zucchini, cut the seeds out if this is a big zucchini, about 2 medium zucchinis

1/2 teaspoon salt

2 eggs

3/4 of your favorite shredded cheese, parm or cheddar work best

¼ cup vegetable oil, for the pan

Place shredded zucchini in colander.   Sprinkle with 1/2 teaspoon of salt and let sit for 15 minutes.  Squeeze out as much moisture as possible. I like to put the shredded zucchini in a clean towel and squeeze it out. 

In a large mixing bowl mix eggs and squeezed zucchini. Stir in Rebel Zucchini Latke Mix, then fold in cheese.  Heat vegetable oil in large skillet on medium to high heat.  When the oil is ready, drop 2-3 tablespoons of latke mixture into the pan pressing into pancake form.  Fry each side for 2-3 minutes. You can fry 3-4 at a time, depending on the size of the latkes and the pan.  Add more oil as needed and repeat.
