These tasty treats are a great substitute for hash browns and can be part of a big lazy Sunday morning breakfast with all the trimmings, eggs, zucchini fritter, mushrooms etc, or they can be a stand alone breakfast by themselves and are actually quite filling.They can be made the night before and warmed up in the oven in the morning for a super speedy breakfast.

Zucchini contains quite a bit of water, so the trick to getting these right is squeezing out any excess liquid as you make them into patties. You can even quickly heat the zucchini in the microwave for 30 seconds first so it releases some of its liquid. This way you can drain it first before mixing it with the other ingredients.
