             VEGETABLES PATTIES WITH THYME 
              
            Ingredients: 4 servings  
            2 potatoes (1 pound), cleaned  
            3/4 zucchinis (10 ounces), washed  
            2 eggs  
            5 tablespoons grated parmesan  
            2 tablespoons finely chopped thyme, if fresh, one and half if dried. 
             fresh bread crumbs, as needed  
            Salt and pepper, as needed  
            Oil for frying as needed  
              
            Preparation:  
            Boil potatoes in salted water, until tender.  Drain them, peel and mash, or pass through a potato ricer.  Grate fresh zucchinis into a bowl: add mashed potatoes, salt, 1 egg, parmesan, some pepper, thyme. Stir to combine. Divide mixture into small portions, shape each portion into ball, then press lightly to form patty. Place the other egg in a bowl, whisk with some salt to blend.  Place breadcrumbs on a large plate. Coat patties first in egg, then in breadcrumbs, pressing to adhere. Heat oil in a large skitter over medium heat. Working in two batches, cook patties until slightly brown, a few minutes per side.   |
