Potato Zucchini (Courgette) Cake
Total time: 25 minutes
This was based on a Potato Leek Cake that I make during the winter. I updated it for summer by adding red pepper and zucchini. It was a bit heavy to 'flip' so you can either turn it, whole, using 2 plates or just turn it in large sections with a big spatula. Either way, let it get nice and crispy first!
Ingredients:
- 2 medium potatoes, 300gr, 10.5oz
- 1 small - medium zucchini, 250gr, 8.8oz
- 1 medium onion, 110gr, 3.9oz
- 1/2 red pepper, 80gr, 2.8oz
- 1 tbs olive oil, 13.5gr, .48oz
Instructions:
- Chop the onion and red pepper.
- Wash the potatoes and zucchini, but do not peel.
- Shred the zucchini and the potatoes using the large whole on a box grater or use a food processor.
- Put all of the vegetables into a bowl and stir well to combine.
- Heat oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add vegetables and flatten as best you can with a spatula, reduce heat to medium and let fry.
- After 10 minutes lift up an edge to see how it looks. Keep checking until it's a nice, golden brown.
- Then you can do one of two things:
- Put a plate (or tray) on top of the skillet. Grabbing the plate and skillet together (with hot pads) flip them over so that the cake is on the plate. Slide the cake back into the pan to cook the other side, another 10 - 12 minutes. When done, slide onto a plate cut into wedges and serve.
- Or, carefully turn large sections with a spatula. Pat back together and fry until brown on that side, another 10 - 15 minutes. Slice onto a platter and serve.
