Instructions:.
Grate raw potatoes into water to which lemon juice has been
added. A little vinegar works also, it is just to prevent browning.
Drain the potatoes, and squeeze them through a towel to get out all the excess water.
The raw potatoes are dry and stick together in a nice clump that will help with the texture.
Otherwise the batter is sloppy and you'll have to add more flour. The less flour the better.

Grate cooked potatoes on medium grater into the bowl for the batter
Grate the zucchini, lightly salt, squeeze excess water and add to the mix.
