INGREDIENTS

1kg courgettes
250g onions
500g potatoes, peeled and chopped into equal sized chunks
200g low-fat grated cheddar or feta cheese
3 large eggs
flour for dusting
3 tablespoons olive oil

PREPARATION

In a large pan of boiling water, boil the potatoes, courgettes and onions together. Mash them in a blender then strain them and squeeze to remove excess water by placing them in a colander and pressing them with the back of a large spoon. Beat the eggs and mix them with the vegetables and the grated cheese. Add salt as desired. Shape the mixture into small balls, coat the balls with the flour and fry on both sides until they turn a golden brown colour in a hot frying pan. Serve immediately.
