Re: Lotsa latkes!

I have two recipes: One the traditional, for DH and another b/c I am on the South Beach Diet. The tradional recipe is delicious! I haven't tried the SBD recipe yet.

Traditional:
3 large Potatoes (Peeled, Grated and drained) *Make sure you get all of the moisture out use kitchen towel.

1 small onion, grated
1 Egg & 2 egg whites beaten fluffy
1 Tablespoon of Matzoh Meal
Pinch of Salt

Mix ingredients together and drop into Hot oil, brown on both sides.

Drain and Enjoy with Sourcream and Applesauce!

ETA: Variation for traditional is to mix it up with sweet potatoe and regular potatoe
