Zucchini Potato Parmigiano Crisps

Once again, another shout out to The Ohio Cook at My Meals Are on Wheels at https://beatcancer2010.wordpress.com/ for this delicious inspiration. I love zucchini and potatoes, but never would have thought of putting them together in a muffin before. What a great idea. 🙂

I served this as a side dish for dinner, but they would be great anytime, breakfast, lunch or dinner, or just as a snack on their own.

Zucchini Potato Parmigiano Crisps

I followed the recipe almost exactly, but mine did not crisp up the way they looked on the original recipe. I used a shallot instead of onions. I think that was the only change I made. They still tasted great though. I just need to work on them some more. No matter how good you are, or how much experience you have, there is always room for improvement. 🙂

1 zucchini, grated

1 medium potato, grated

1 cup Parmigiano shredded cheese

1/2 cup flour

2 eggs

1/2 cup green onions,sliced

1/2 tsp garlic

1 shallot, minced

salt & pepper to taste

1/4 tsp paprika

Preheat the oven to 375* F or 191*C.

Spray a muffin pan with cooking spray.

Shred both the potato and zucchini with either a food processor or a cheese grater and push through cheesecloth to get all the excess liquid out.

Combine all the ingredients together and mix together just until everything is blended. Do not over mix.

Spoon the mixture into the prepared muffin pan, filling each cup 3/4 full. Then pat down with the back of a spoon.

Bake for about 20-25 minutes or until golden brown and crispy. They are similar to baked latkes. If you like, you can even top them with a dollop of either sour cream or yogurt too.

I think the next time I make them, and there will definitely be a next time, I am going to slice the potatoes into thin slices rather than shredding them. Let’s see if that makes a difference in the crispiness.

I served them as a side dish, with chicken wild rice and green beans, but you can enjoy them however you like, with whatever you like. 🙂

Have a great day and make everyday great. Stay safe and stay well. ‘Til next time.
