• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper

• 3 tablespoons Olive oil

Directions

Step 1

Grate the zucchini and potato using the large holes of a box grater.

Step 2

Transfer the grated zucchini and potato to a clean dish towel or cheesecloth, gather it into a bundle, and squeeze as much liquid as possible out of the vegetables.

Place the squeezed zucchini and potato into a large bowl.

In the same bowl, add the egg, all-purpose flour, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and paprika. Mix well until fully combined.

Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.

Step 6

Scoop about 2 tablespoons of the mixture and form it into a small, flat patty. Place it carefully into the hot skillet.

Step 7

Repeat this process until the skillet is filled, but make sure not to overcrowd the pan.

Step 8

Cook each patty for 3-4 minutes on one side, or until golden brown, then carefully flip and cook the other side for another 3-4 minutes.

Step 9

Transfer the cooked hash browns to a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.

Step 10

Add the remaining olive oil to the skillet as needed and repeat with the remaining mixture.
