Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups shredded carrots
  • 2 cups shredded zucchini (squeezed dry)
  • 1 cup shredded potatoes
  • 4 green onions, finely sliced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 large eggs

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, combine shredded carrots, zucchini, potatoes, green onions, and garlic.
  2. In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, flour, cornstarch, salt, pepper, and paprika until smooth.
  3. Pour the batter over the vegetables and mix until everything is well coated.
  4. Heat a thin layer of vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
  5. Scoop about 1/4 cup of the mixture per pancake into the skillet and flatten slightly.
