Nutritional values
Zucchini is a low calorie, summer vegetable that is full of so many nutrients. Additionally, the carbs from the potatoes provide plenty of energy, and the herbed creme fraiche provides calcium. This is such a tasy way to serve zucchini, even your kids will be so excited to eat their veggies!
These zucchini pancakes are the perfect appetizer, snack, or even main dish for vegetarians and non vegetarians alike. They go perfectly on the side of some grilled chicken or steak. If you want to add variation, you can mix up the spices in the patties and make something like zucchini curry pancakes or zucchini paprika pancakes.
