Potato Zucchini Fritters are a perfect appetizer for a party or a delicious snack that can be enjoyed anytime. Made with grated potato, grated zucchini, and cornmeal, these fritters are crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. The addition of chopped onions, fresh parsley and grated parmigiano-reggiano cheese enhances the flavor of the fritters. What's more, they are gluten-free and low-fat, making them a healthier snack option.

Instructions
