I am not aware that I announced a competition for super prizes at lunch today. But despite that, my little ones acted at a cosmic pace and before I could even serve the food to myself, they were already done with lunch and contentedly burped. And literally licked plates are unequivocally the best praise for the kitchen...

Instructions

Zucchini croquettes (balls) with potato mash: Approximately 300g of zucchini (young fruits not peeled and grated with skin, older ones peeled and rid of tough skin), 100g of hard cheese (finely grated), 1 egg, 4 tablespoons of breadcrumbs, 3 tablespoons of plain flour, 1 teaspoon of salt, 1/2 teaspoon of ground black pepper, 3 cloves of garlic (pressed) and additionally egg, breadcrumbs, and flour for coating.

Grate zucchini with skin on a fine grater, let it 'drain' and then squeeze out the excess liquid. Add grated cheese, garlic, salt, pepper, egg, flour, and breadcrumbs and mix everything thoroughly by hand.

If necessary, slightly thicken with breadcrumbs, the dough is soft but should hold its shape. Immediately form small balls, patties, or cylinders, it's entirely up to your imagination, coat in a triple layer and fry in a deep layer of oil from all sides until golden brown. Let the finished ones drain on a paper towel and serve immediately.
