For the Rolls:
Prepare Vegetables:
Grate the zucchini, carrot, and potato. Place the grated zucchini in a colander, sprinkle with salt, and let it sit for 10 minutes to draw out excess moisture. Squeeze out the water from the zucchini.
Mix Ingredients:
In a large bowl, combine the grated zucchini, carrot, potato, cheese, garlic, parsley, eggs, black pepper, Italian herbs, paprika, oatmeal, and flour. Mix until evenly combined.
Form the Rolls:
Take a small handful of the mixture and shape it into a roll. Repeat with the remaining mixture.
Fry the Rolls:
Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Fry the rolls for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Remove and drain on paper towels.
For the Dip:
Prepare Dip:
In a small bowl, combine sour cream, mayonnaise, chopped cucumber, and salt. Mix well.
Serving Suggestions:
Serve the vegetable rolls hot with the cucumber and sour cream dip on the side.
