A potato zucchini fritter with kashar cheese is made with grated potato, zucchini, egg, flour and grated kashar. The vegetables give it a tender center, while the Turkish semi-hard cheese melts into the mixture as the fritter cooks.
To make a potato zucchini fritter with kashar cheese, grate the potato and zucchini, squeeze out their excess liquid, then mix them with egg, flour and grated kashar. Fry spoonfuls in a pan until browned and cooked through.
Squeeze as much liquid as possible from the grated potato and zucchini before mixing a potato zucchini fritter with kashar cheese. Cook the fritters in a hot pan without crowding it, so moisture can escape instead of steaming them.
Yes, you can bake a potato zucchini fritter with kashar cheese. Shape the mixture into small portions on a lined baking tray, brush lightly with oil and bake until the outside is browned and the center is set.
It is a variation of Turkish mücver, not quite the classic version. Traditional mücver is commonly centered on zucchini; a potato zucchini fritter with kashar cheese adds grated potato and melting kashar for a heartier, cheesier result.
Kashar is the defining cheese in a potato zucchini fritter with kashar cheese: it melts well and has a savory, mild-to-pronounced flavor depending on how aged it is. If you substitute another melting cheese, the fritter will no longer have its characteristic kashar taste.
Garlic yogurt is a classic dip for a potato zucchini fritter with kashar cheese, and plain yogurt or a tangy cucumber dip also works well. Serve the fritters hot with a fresh salad for a light meal.
Refrigerate leftover potato zucchini fritters with kashar cheese in a covered container once they have cooled. Reheat them in a skillet or oven to bring back some crispness; a microwave warms them quickly but leaves the coating softer.
Yes, cooked potato zucchini fritters with kashar cheese can be frozen after cooling. Freeze them in a single layer before packing them together, then reheat from thawed in a pan or oven; the texture may be less crisp than freshly cooked.
Yes, but the mixture may hold together less reliably without egg. For a potato zucchini fritter with kashar cheese, squeeze the vegetables especially well and add a little extra flour or a suitable binder, then cook small portions carefully.

A potato zucchini fritter with kashar cheese is a home-style Turkish take on mücver, the familiar grated-vegetable fritter. Grated potato and zucchini are mixed with egg and flour, with kashar folded into the mixture, then fried in a pan. The potato makes it heartier than a zucchini-only version, while the cheese adds a savoury, melting centre.
It is usually served warm, with a browned, crisp outside and a soft middle. In Turkey, it can appear at breakfast, as a snack with tea, or alongside yoghurt and salad as part of a meal. It provides some protein, though frying also makes it fairly energy-dense. For a lighter plate, serve a smaller fritter with fresh salad, or cook it in the oven using less oil.
