2 c of shredded vegetables (carrots, zucchini, yellow squash, brown cremini mushrooms, or white mushrooms)

DIRECTIONS

  • In a large skillet, heat the oil over medium heat.  Add desired veggies. Saute 1 to 2 minutes or until crisp but tender, stirring constantly.  Remove from heat.  Cool slightly.
  • In a bowl, beat egg yolks or egg and mix in the sour cream, cornstarch, chives, salt and pepper to taste.  Stir in the sauteed vegetables.
  • In a large skillet, heat the remaining oil over medium-high heat.  Spoon 3 tbs batter into skillet to form 3-inch patties.  Cook until lightly browned underneath, about 2 minutes.  Turn and brown the other side, about 1 minute.

  • Serve hot.  NOTE:  These can be made in advance- just reheat at 325 degrees for 10 to 15 minutes.
