🧾 What You Need

(Makes about 8–10 fritters)

The Veggies

1 carrot — peeled and grated
1 small zucchini — grated
1 small potato — peeled and grated
2 green onions — chopped small (or a little onion)

The Tasty Stuff

1 cup cheddar cheese — grated (or any melting cheese)
1 egg
½ cup flour (all-purpose is good)
½ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon pepper

For Cooking

Oil for frying — vegetable or canola oil works great

👩‍🍳 How to Make Them

1. Get the veggies ready

Grate the carrot, zucchini, and potato.
Put them in a clean kitchen towel and squeeze out the water — this is important!
You want them dry, not wet.

Put the squeezed veggies in a big bowl.
Add the chopped green onions.

2. Add the good stuff

Add the grated cheese, egg, flour, salt, and pepper.
Mix everything together with a spoon or your hands.
It should stick together when you press it.

3. Make the patties

Take a little handful of the mixture and shape it into a flat round patty.
Not too thick — about as thick as your finger.
Put them on a plate while you make the rest.

4. Cook them crispy

Put a big pan on the stove over medium heat.
Add a thin layer of oil — enough to cover the bottom.
Wait until the oil is hot (a little water drop should sizzle).

Gently put the patties in the pan — don’t crowd them.
Cook for 3–4 minutes until the bottom is golden and crispy.
Flip carefully and cook the other side for 3–4 minutes too.

5. Drain and serve

Take them out and put them on a plate with paper towels (this soaks extra oil).
Serve them warm — cheese is melty and yummy!

🍴 How to Eat Them

Dip in sour cream — so good!
Try ketchup — kids love this
Yogurt dip with a little garlic is yummy
Eat them plain — they’re already cheesy and tasty
Put them in a burger bun for a veggie sandwich
