Low Fat Latkes for Hanukkah
- 2 lbs potatoes, shredded
- 1 onion, shredded
- 2 eggs or 1 egg and 2 egg white
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 14 teaspoon pepper
- 14 cup matzo meal or 14 cup flour
- 14 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 tablespoon fresh dill (optional) or 1 teaspoon dried dill (optional)
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
- Preheat oven to 425 degrees.
- Drain potato to remove most liquid but do not squeeze.
- Place shredded potato and onion in the work bowl of a food processor.
- Add remaining ingredients.
- Pulse just until ingredients are mixed well and the potatoes are grated, not pureed.
- Spray muffin tins with cooking spray.
- Then, using a pastry brush, brush each cup with vegetable oil.
- This helps to make crispy latkes.
- Fill each cup 1/3 full for large muffin tin and 3/4 full for small cups.
- Bake on a middle rack 30-45 minutes (depending on the muffin tin size) until puffed and golden brown.
- Remove from oven and turn latkes onto a baking pan and serve immediately.
- You may hold latkes until serving time or freeze them for later use.
- If I do this, I under cook them just a bit till golden, but not browned.
- Then I return them in the baking pan to a preheated 425 degree oven and bake 10 minutes until crisp.
