I posted this so long ago, I don't even follow the recipe anymore.

Just one tip: I found out (by accident) that when you put the mix into the fridge for a few hours, it fries beautifully, and comes out much better.

I made these yesterday and at first I was disappointed because they were a little bland and I didn't add enough salt. Then I decided to make a tartar sauce for it (really simple: mayo, relish, onion and garlic powders) and put them in a whole wheat roll with chopped lettuce. YUM! Even the baby ate it up (sans lettuce.) Also, I think they taste great cold from the fridge for a nosh (and dipped in leftover tartar sauce.)
Thanks!

These are really great for a road trip because they're good cold too.

Another comment, I didn't mash the potato, zucchini and carrots very finely. The color of the vegetables made the patties look very nice. (dh actually commented that they look good too.)

I do this without cooking the veggies. I just put them through the foodprocessor (onions, carrots, zuchini, potato) mix in the rest and its yummy, without the extra hassle.

form into patties and bake at 350 degrees for 1/2 hr-45 min.
yields: 10- 12 medium-sized patties

you can fry them if you want but baking them is less fattening

Does baking taste just as good as frying??

I did this too and they came out pretty good! I just had to squeeze out all the excess water from the vegetables.

I made 10 big patties; I had 2, my kids each had 1, and dh had.... 6!!!

I didn't have a fresh onion in the house so I used dried minced onion instead, didn't taste as onion-y as I imagine fresh would. Sauteeing is also a good idea.

I just used this idea (not exact amounts posted) and fried half the onion and left some in raw my dh really enjoyed them. Thank you for the idea.

Just bumping to say I just made a batch, and they're yummy: 2 eggs, 4 large cans tuna in water, 1/2 container hummus, and 6 zucchini shredded, 1 t. salt, dash of black pepper. Amazing! Except they didn't hold, so I had no choice but to add flour which I didn't want to. I added 3/4 cup.

Sure.

And LOL because yesterday I made regular tuna patties for the first time. We liked them better. Confused

It was 3 PM, I had 4 hungry kvetchy kids home and still no plans for dinner. My house is pretty empty of food, I haven't done a regular shopping in 3 weeks. I slapped together tuna, eggs, onion, matzah meal, spices, and fried them. I would have made this vegetable recipe but there wasn't enough time.

I made these this week and DH, who for some reason seems to be allergic to the word "healthy", loved them! I baked them but I sprayed a LOT of nonstick spray on the baking paper and on top of the patties.
By the way, how do you fry them? In a lot of oil? I don't know how cooked they'd get.

I'm making this again tonight. It's a hit every time.

warning: do not do this recipe in a food processor! it is disastrous (from experience)

I wish I saw this thread and post before I made these. I made them last week, but made my own recipe from memory from what my mother used to make, but I made it in the food processor. I couldn't make it into patties, so I put it in a pan and made it into a casserole.
