Irish Zucchini and Potato Pancakes

Ingredients

• 1 cup prepared mashed potatoes
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 1/4 cup milk
• 1 egg
• 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
• 2 teaspoons fine sea salt
• 1 1/2 cups shredded Yukon Gold potatoes
• 1 cup shredded Cheddar cheese
• 1 small zucchini, shredded
• Canola oil, or as needed, divided

Directions

Stir mashed potatoes, flour, milk, egg, butter, and sea salt together in a bowl. Add shredded potatoes, Cheddar cheese, and zucchini; stir until batter is well-combined.

Heat 1 to 1 1/2 tablespoons oil in a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Working in batches, drop batter by heaping tablespoons into hot oil. Cook, turning once, until golden-brown on each side, 3 to 4 minutes per side. Repeat with remaining oil and batter.
