I’ve been enjoying creating different types of fritters or patties lately. It is a great way to get in some extra veg.
I have served these on the side with soup, topped with a homemade sour cream mixed with finely chopped spring onion and have even topped with eggs for breakfast. They would be awesome with a homemade burger pattie served between two or just as they are with a mixed salad.
How will you serve yours?

- half an onion, finely chopped
- 1 zucchini, grated and squeezed of excess liquid
- 1 carrot, grated
- 1 clove of garlic, crushed
- 4x28g of cheddar (4xHEa's), grated

- Add to a bowl the potatoes, zucchni, cheddar, eggs, tapioca starch and sauted onion, carrot and garlic.
- Season well with salt and black pepper.
- Mix all together with a spatula.
- Line a baking tray with parchment paper, and roughly form the mixture into 12 equal sized patties and place on the tray (mixture will be quite wet, but will firm together when cooked)

Where would I be able to buy tapioca starch? Tesco doesn’t seem to have it online. Thanks
cornstarch will do the trick. Tapioca is just a thickening agent, but an alternative to using the corn stuff. 🙂
