Kittencal's Italian Zucchini-Mozzarella Patties

Kittencalskitchen's Note:

You might find yourself purchasing zucchini in your grocery store all year around just to make these, they are *that* good! --- you will be lucky if these even make it to the table lol! you may also add in some canned corn niblets or some cooked rice, although garlic powder may be used I strongly suggest to use fresh minced garlic, this recipe is very forgiving so don't worry about the the exact measurments--- these are delicious served with sour cream :) also take a look at my Kittencal's Onion Patties/Latkes

These have such great flavor and the addition of mozzarella sets them over the top! Next time I am going to try to pair with marinara sauce for dipping. Thanks for another great recipe!

These were delicious! I was looking for something to do with a couple of zucchini from a neighbor's garden and as soon as I found one from Kitten - I knew I needed to try it. This is definitely a keeper.

These are really good and fairly healthy if you use FF cheese!
