These zucchini corn fritters are how a pile of summer zucchini disappears in our house. The trick is the first step: grate the zucchini and onion, salt them, let them sit ten minutes, then wring them out in a kitchen towel. Skip it and you get soggy fritters; do it and they crisp up golden in the pan. Mozzarella and Parmesan hold everything together, and a dollop of sour cream makes them dinner.

1cupcorn

1
Cut the ends of the zucchini off. Peel the onion. Grate both into a large bowl. Pour salt over the mixture and let sit for 10 minutes. Then, wrap the mixture in a kitchen towel or cheese cloth and squeeze dry.
2
If using frozen corn (like we did), steam the corn until cooked through.
3
Into the large bowl with the zucchini and onion mix, add all ingredients (except the oil and sour cream), and mix well.
4
Heat a large skillet over medium heat and pour in oil.
5
Working in batches, spoon about 1/4 cup of the batter into the oil and flatten down with a spoon. Cook until the fritters are golden brown, 3 to 4 minutes per side.
6
Drain on paper towels until the entire batter is cooked. Serve with optional sour cream and enjoy!
