Ingredients

1. 2¼ cups coarsely grated zucchini (1 large zucchini)
2. 1 teaspoon salt
3. ½ cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
4. ¼ cup all-purpose flour
5. 1 large egg, lightly beaten
6. 1 tablespoon minced green onion
7. 1 tablespoon minced fresh parsley
8. 1 tablespoon minced fresh chives
9. 1/8 teaspoon ground black pepper
10. 1/3 cup canola oil
11. 1 recipe Lemon Crème Fraîche (recipe follows)

Instructions

1. In a sieve, combine zucchini and salt, tossing well. Let drain for 15 minutes. Squeeze out excess liquid.
2. In a medium bowl, combine zucchini, cheese, fl our, egg, green onion, parsley, chives, and pepper, stirring well.
3. In a large skillet, heat oil over medium-high heat. Using a levered 1½-tablespoon scoop, spoon batter into hot oil. Flatten latkes with a spatula. Fry until golden brown, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Drain on paper towels.
4. Serve warm latkes with Lemon Crème Fraîche, if desired.

Notes

1. Make-Ahead Tip: Latkes can be made earlier in the day and refrigerated in a covered container until needed. When ready to serve, place on a parchment lined baking sheet, and warm in a 350° oven until hot, approximately 5 minutes.
