s. It is perfect to serve with breakfast, lunch or dinner. Side dishes served with poached eggs. There are many ways to incorporate them. And the best of all is that they are really

easy

to make. I have a plate of

vegetable

s here. Potatoes, zucchini, carrot and onion. And what I'm going to do is show you how to cut them with this guy. It's a Japanese mandolin. It's a really cheap and useful tool if you can get your hands on one. I'm also going to show you how to make it in the food processor if you don't have one.

All we are going to do is take different vegetables and cut the potato with your mandolin. And you see these beautiful, thin potato slices. Zucchini, of course, are much easier to cut than potatoes. A little carrot. OK. Get yourself a big bowl. Let's collect all those vegetables and place them. And then I'll take an onion and I'll just run through it... ...and cut it the same way you cut the other vegetables. Alright, now what you need to do is add a couple of teaspoons of salt to your vegetables. This is how to do it with a mandolin.

Let me show you how to do it in a food processor. Switch it on. (ZUBINDO) Great. Then, once you've cut all the vegetables... ...you do the exact same thing. You take them out of there, put them in a bowl and just mix them. I'm going to add your salt. OK. So we'll let the salt do its thing. Come back in 5 minutes and I'll show you exactly what I'm talking about. So our vegetables have had 4 or 5 minutes with the salt and what's going to happen is if you take the vegetables out, you can pick them up and give them a good squeeze.

Because when you make the

fritters

, you don't want all that moisture left in there. See how nice and dry our vegetable mix is ​​now? They will make perfect fritters. What we do next is get a couple of eggs. I'm going to pour it directly over my vegetable mixture. A little bit of pepper. And then you just mix all that together. Once you've made the mixture, you just want to get a very warm or hot pan. A little olive oil. You can also

cook

them in butter. Not too much. And then you can go ahead with the fork, take a generous amount and flatten it like this.

Just take a look. Make sure it's nice and golden on the bottom. And then you can just flip it over. Okay, while you're finishing up, I'm going to show you how to make a really

quick

and delicious sauce or side dish for vegetable fritters. I have some dill. Now I'm going to remove that from the stem. I just cut it nice and rough. And put it directly into your creme fraiche or sour cream. Grab a spoon. So those are the fritters. I'm going to serve this with some smoked salmon and that creme fraiche because it's perfect to serve for breakfast.

But as you can see, they would also be a great accompaniment if you are going to have a Barbie. Make some of these, people love them. There you go. Vegetable fritters. No more excuses for children not to eat vegetables. Hmm!
