Preparation
Step 1
Grate the zucchini, potato, and onion on a box grater. Transfer to a colander and toss with 2 teaspoons of kosher salt. Let vegetables sit for about 30−40 minutes. Then squeeze out any excess moisture until super dry.
Step 2
In a large bowl, mix the eggs, garlic, cumin, garlic powder, parsley, and mint in a medium bowl and season with salt and pepper. Add the vegetables and quinoa to the bowl with egg mixture and stir to combine. Sprinkle flour and baking powder on top and stir to combine.
Step 3
Heat some olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high. Working in batches, spoon small scoops of mixture into the skillet, flattening gently with a spatula. Cook until golden brown on each side, about 90 seconds to 2 minutes per. Transfer to a paper towel lined plate to let any excess oil drain off and season with salt. Serve alongside the tzatziki.
