Instructions
-
Prepare vegetables: Boil and mash potatoes. Grate or chop the remaining vegetables. Squeeze out excess moisture from zucchini and spinach.
-
Mix: In a large bowl, combine all vegetables with spices, herbs, flour, and breadcrumbs. Mix until a dough-like texture forms.
-
Shape: Take portions of the mixture and form patties. Flatten slightly. Chill for 15 minutes if too soft.
-
Cook:
-
Pan-Fry: Heat oil in a non-stick pan. Cook patties 2–3 minutes per side until golden.
-
Bake: Place on an oiled tray and bake at 400°F (200°C) for 20–25 minutes, flipping halfway.
-
Air-Fry: Spray with oil and cook at 375°F (190°C) for 12–15 minutes.

Notes
-
Dry the mix: Avoid soggy patties by draining or squeezing wet vegetables like zucchini.
-
Chill before cooking for better shape retention.
-
Add more flour or breadcrumbs if the mix is too wet.
-
Use a food processor to save time with chopping and grating.
-
Serve hot for best texture, with a dip or inside a bun or wrap.
