Farmers Market Kitchen: Corn-Zucchini Fritters With Raclette

by Hannah Palmer Egan Posted on August 25, 2015 at 1:00PM

Since it wasn't, in fact, hot but cold and wet, I made friends with my stove and fried up some corn fritters — with zucchini, since it's late summer. That means it's time to use zucchini (usually shredded, so you barely notice it) in everything.
