Step by step instructions

1.Prepare the vegetables:

Start by grating the courgettes, carrots and potatoes. Place the courgettes and grated potatoes in a colander, sprinkle them with a pinch of salt and leave to rest for about 10 minutes. This process helps remove excess moisture, ensuring the donuts get crispy.

2. Drain excess moisture:

After 10 minutes, press the courgette and potato mixture well in the colander to extract as much water as possible. The drier the mixture, the crispier your donuts will be.
