Grate the zucchini, potatoes, and carrot. Squeeze excess water from the zucchini and potato to prevent soggy patties.
Mix the Ingredients:
In a large bowl, combine grated vegetables, mozzarella, chives, eggs, garlic, oatmeal, salt, and black pepper. Mix until well combined.
Form the Patties:
Using your hands, shape the mixture into small, even patties.
Cook the Patties:
Heat vegetable fat in a skillet over medium heat. Fry the patties for 3–4 minutes per side or until golden brown and crispy. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
Prepare the Yogurt Sauce:
In a small bowl, mix yogurt, lemon juice, minced garlic, salt, pepper, and chopped herbs if using. Stir until smooth.
Serve:
Serve the patties warm with a generous drizzle of yogurt sauce on top or on the side for dipping.
