Steps
To prepare the zucchini and potato burgers in the air fryer, wash the potatoes, cut them into cubes, and boil them in salted water for 5-10 minutes until they are soft. Once cooked, transfer them to a bowl and mash them with a fork until they become puree. Let them cool.
Wash the zucchinis, dry them, remove both ends, and grate them into a bowl using a large-hole grater. After grating, squeeze them well with your hands to remove excess water.
Add the mashed potatoes, a couple of pinches of salt, the egg, grated Parmesan, and bread crumbs to the zucchinis. Mix well with a spatula to combine all ingredients. If the mixture is too soft, add a couple of tablespoons of breadcrumbs.
At this point, form the burgers: divide the mixture into three equal parts and shape them into the classic round shape with your hands. Coat the burgers in breadcrumbs in a bowl.
Line your air fryer’s basket with parchment paper, lightly grease and place the burgers. Drizzle a bit of oil on each or spray oil using the sprayer. Cook at 365°F for 15 minutes, flipping them halfway through.
And here are your tasty zucchini and potato burgers, ready to be served.
Storage
The zucchini and potato burgers in the air fryer can be stored in the refrigerator for up to a day in an airtight container. Before consuming, I recommend reheating them for a couple of minutes.
