Ingredients
1/4 cup butter1 1/2 lb zucchini (coarsely shredded to make 4 cups)1/2 tsp salt1/2 clove fresh garlic, finely minced2 eggs6 tbsp Parmesan cheese - freshly grated is best
Directions
Combine zucchini with salt in a medium size bowl. Let stand for 15 minutes. Squeeze with your hands to press out moisture. Stir in eggs, cheese and garlic. Melt 2 tbsp of the butter in a wide frying pan over medium-high heat. Mound about 2 tbsp of the zucchini mixture in pan; flatten slightly to make a patty. Repeat until pan is filled, but don't crowd patties in pan. Cook patties, turning once, until golden on both sides (about 6 minutes).

Lift out and arrange on a warm platter, keep warm. Repeat to cook remaining zucchini mixture, adding more butter as needed.

    I tried to fry these, but they were too watery, even after squeezing out water. Transfered remainder to tin pie plate and baked at 350 for about a half hour. Tastes just like hashbrowns at Denny's. - 6/4/08
