Preparation
- Grate the Vegetables: Start by grating the zucchini and potatoes. After grating, squeeze out as much moisture as possible from the zucchini and potatoes using a clean kitchen towel or paper towel. This step is important to prevent the fritters from becoming soggy.
- Chop the Ingredients: Finely chop 1 onion, mince 1 clove of garlic, and chop the Bavarian sausages into small pieces. Set aside.
- Mix the Oats and Eggs: In a large mixing bowl, combine 2 eggs and 100g of oat flakes. Let the oats soak in the egg mixture for about 5 minutes, which helps soften the oats.
- Combine the Ingredients: Add the grated zucchini, grated potatoes, chopped onion, minced garlic, grated cheese, chopped sausages, and dill to the oat and egg mixture. Stir everything together until well combined.
- Add the Seasonings: Season the mixture with smoked paprika, ½ teaspoon of turmeric, black pepper, Italian herbs, and salt to taste. Stir in 70g of flour to help bind the mixture together.
- Shape the Fritters: Using your hands or a spoon, form the mixture into small patties or fritters, about the size of your palm. You should be able to make about 8-10 fritters from this recipe.
- Heat the Oil: Heat a few tablespoons of vegetable oil in a large frying pan over medium heat.
- Fry the Fritters: Once the oil is hot, carefully place the fritters in the pan, making sure not to overcrowd them. Fry each fritter for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crispy. Adjust the heat as needed to prevent burning.
- Drain Excess Oil: Once the fritters are golden and crispy, transfer them to a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil. Continue frying the rest of the fritters in batches.
- Make the Sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together 2 tablespoons of sour cream, 1 tablespoon of mayonnaise, 1 tablespoon of lemon juice, 2 tablespoons of soy sauce, and 1 teaspoon of grated ginger. Stir until smooth and well combined.
- Serve Hot: Serve the freshly fried zucchini and potato fritters hot, alongside the herb sauce. Garnish with extra dill or herbs if desired. These fritters are perfect as a snack, appetizer, or even a light meal.
