Cukiniju ir Bulviu Blynai -- Lithuanian Zucchini Potato Pancakes

potatoes

🥗Healthier: sweet potatoes

💰Cheaper: mashed potatoes

Sweet potatoes add nutrients and flavor while being slightly more expensive.

sour cream

🥗Healthier: Greek yogurt

💰Cheaper: plain yogurt

Greek yogurt reduces calories while maintaining creaminess.

vegetable oil

🥗Healthier: olive oil

💰Cheaper: canola oil

Olive oil adds health benefits and flavor, while canola is often cheaper.

flour

🥗Healthier: whole wheat flour

💰Cheaper: all-purpose flour

Whole wheat flour increases fiber content.

Wash the zucchini and peel the potatoes.

Grate the zucchini first to maximize antioxidant capabilities.

Grate the potatoes using a Bosch food processor with a box grating attachment.

Crack the eggs into the mixture without beating them ahead of time.

Add around 1/4 cup of flour and a bit of milk to the grated mixture.

Stir the ingredients together until well combined to form a batter.

Heat oil in a pan until hot.

Drop spoonfuls of the batter into the pan and fry until golden brown, flipping when brown on the outside.

Continue frying until both sides are golden brown.

Serve plain or with sour cream and dill, if available.
