The calorie counts provided are estimates and can vary depending on the exact ingredients and portion sizes you use. Using your own calculations helps ensure you're meeting your individual needs.

If you are in the UK, Maris Piper potatoes are the closest equivalent and are a great choice. If you have leftover mashed potatoes, they can be used too, provided they are not overly wet.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Zucchini\/Courgette<\/strong>: Grated zucchini adds moisture and extra vegetables to the fritters. Be sure to squeeze out as much excess moisture as possible before mixing it with the potato, otherwise the fritters can become too soft and difficult to shape.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Egg<\/strong>: The egg helps bind everything together and gives the fritters structure as they cook.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Garlic Powder, Onion Powder, Salt and Pepper<\/strong>: This seasoning blend adds plenty of flavour.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Olive oil Spray<\/strong>: A light coating of olive oil spray helps the fritters crisp up and turn golden without needing lots of added oil.<span style=\"font-size: xx-small;\"><span style=\"font-weight: normal;\"><span style=\"font-size: xx-small;\"><span style=\"font-size: x-small;\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Arial Black';

Simply stir the cheese into the mixture before shaping the fritters.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Extra Vegetables<\/strong>: Grated carrot works really well alongside the zucchini, adding a touch of sweetness and extra colour. Just be sure to squeeze out any excess moisture before mixing it in.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Onion<\/strong>: Finely diced saut\u00e9ed onion is a delicious addition and adds extra flavour and sweetness. Allow it to cool slightly before stirring it into the potato mixture.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Potatoes<\/strong>: Russet potatoes or Maris Piper potatoes work best, but other fluffy potatoes can be used. Leftover mashed potatoes are also a great shortcut.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Seasoning<\/strong>: If you do not have garlic pepper seasoning, use black pepper and garlic powder. You can also add a pinch of paprika, onion powder, dried herbs or chilli flakes for extra flavour.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Herbs<\/strong>: Fresh parsley, chives, dill or spring onions can be stirred into the mixture for added freshness.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Make Them Spicier<\/strong>: Add a pinch of cayenne pepper, chilli flakes or finely diced jalape\u00f1os for a little heat.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group is-style-feast-branding-background\"><div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Serving Suggestions<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I love serving these Potato and Zucchini Fritters topped with a fried or poached egg, which makes them perfect for breakfast, brunch or a light lunch.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">They also work really well as a side dish with a variety of proteins, including grilled chicken, baked fish, salmon, steak, pork chops, turkey or sausages. For a lighter option, serve them with cottage cheese, Greek yogurt or a simple side salad. They are also delicious alongside grilled vegetables or topped with smoked salmon and a squeeze of fresh lemon.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group\"><div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-group is-style-feast-feature-wrapper\"><div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">More Side Dishes<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Looking for some more side dish ideas?
