   • Begin by grating the zucchinis and potatoes, ensuring they are of similar sizes for even cooking.
   • To prevent browning, toss the grated zucchini and potato in freshly squeezed lemon juice.

2. Remove Moisture:

   • The key to achieving crispy latkes is to remove excess moisture from the vegetables.
   • Squeeze the zucchini and potatoes through towels or a sieve, ensuring to extract as much moisture as possible. 🧽💧

3. Combine Ingredients:

   • In a large mixing bowl, combine the squeezed zucchini and potatoes.
   • Add finely chopped scallions, grated parmesan cheese, minced garlic, half of the chopped parsley, salt, pepper, sugar, matzo meal, and eggs.
   • Thoroughly toss the ingredients until well mixed, ensuring an even distribution of flavors. 🥄🥚

4. Fry Latkes:

   • Heat a generous amount of peanut oil (about 1/2 inch deep) in a frying pan over medium-high heat.
   • Once the oil is hot, carefully drop spoonfuls of the zucchini-potato mixture into the pan, shaping them into thin silver dollar-size pancakes.
   • Fry the latkes until they turn golden brown and develop a crispy exterior, approximately 2-3 minutes per side. 🍳🔥

5. Serve:

   • As you remove the latkes from the pan, place them on a paper towel-lined plate to absorb any excess oil.
   • Before serving, sprinkle the latkes with a pinch of salt and the remaining chopped parsley for an extra burst of flavor.
   • Enjoy these Zucchini Parmesan Latkes hot and crispy, accompanied by your favorite dipping sauce or topping, such as sour cream or applesauce. 🍽️🍎
