Ingredients

  • 36 servings cup heavy whipping cream sour
  • 0.5 teaspoon marjoram dried
  • 1.3 cups breadcrumbs plain dry fine
  • large eggs lightly beaten
  • cup vegetable oil for frying
  • pounds zucchini 

Equipment

  • food processor
  • bowl
  • frying pan
  • baking sheet
  • oven
  • kitchen towels

Directions

  1. Grate zucchini using medium shredding disk of a food processor.
  2. Transfer to a bowl and toss with 2 teaspoons salt.
  3. Let stand 30 minutes.
  4. Squeeze zucchini in batches in a kitchen towel to remove as much liquid as possible.
  5. Transfer zucchini to a large bowl and stir in bread crumbs, eggs, marjoram, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper.
  6. Preheat oven to 200°F.
  7. Heat 1/3 cup oil in a 12-inch heavy skillet over medium heat until it shimmers. Scoop 2 tablespoon mixture per latke into skillet (6 to 8 per batch). Flatten with a fork to form 2 1/2-to 3-inch pancakes. Fry until golden brown, about 2 minutes per side (adding more oil as necessary).
