My husband, Avi, and I carry prepare these delicious latkes with our children, Sara, 10, and Yaakov, 5. This year, Sara is old enough to help make the latkes (the oil can get very hot, so be careful). I serve my latkes with sour cream, cottage cheese and applesauce, plus a salad on the side.

Steps:
- Finely shred potatoes. Soak potatoes in cold water to remove starch. (A flour sack towel works well for this- place towel in a bowl with edges hanging over the sides. Put the potatoes in the bowl and cover them with cold water.) After 10-15 minutes squeeze out potatoes, rinse bowl, and repeat the soaking process one or two more times as needed to remove all the "pink," or "white" starch which sinks to the bottom of the bowl.
- While potatoes are soaking finely chop the parsley, and finely shred the zucchini and onion. Put onion and zucchini in a colander to drain off excess juice. You can carefully press out even more juice. The key to the success of these latkes is washing the starch from the potatoes and removing any excess liquid from the vegetables.
- After the final soak, squeeze out as much water as possible from the potatoes. If using a towel, then twist the top of the towel continuously, squeezing the potatoes into a ball, and wringing out all the fluid. Combine potatoes, zucchini, onion, parsley, salt, herb seasoning, eggs and flour in a large bowl and mix well.
- Heat oil in a medium skillet until the surface is shimmering. Add large spoonfuls of latke batter to the oil and shape them into pancakes about 1/4 inch thick. Fry until golden brown (approximately 6 minutes each side).

Serve quickly, best while hot.

ZUCCHINI POTATO LATKES
I recently discovered this recipe on the web. Because of the miracle of the oil in the story of Chanukah, it's traditional to eat something oil-fried for the holiday. Latkes - potato pancakes - are the customary fried dish. This delicious version features zucchini in addition to the potatoes, and makes light, delicate pancakes. Perfect for the Festival of Lights, these are scrumptious as is, or with applesauce or sour cream. The 5-minute cooking time is per latkes. The servings indicated are for 32 large latkes or 72 cocktail size.

BAKED ZUCCHINI POTATO LATKES
this is probably not at all traditional but it is way healthier and very tasty. easy and quick enough to throw together after work and it will use up some of the garden's bounty. i just eyeball this so all measurements are approximate. feel free to improvise. you can use more or less potato and zucchini, you just may need to add a bit more egg or flour to get it to come together nicely.

Steps:
- shred the potato and zucchini with a cheese grater, chop the onion. mix together with the salt and let sit for 10 min to draw out some of the liquid.
- drain the veggies well, give them a little squeeze. they don't have to be perfectly dry but do the best you can.
- mix in the remaining ingredients, preheat the oven to 425f and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. just greasing it wont work, they'll stick anyways.
- form the mix into little cakes about 1/2 inch thick by 2-3 inches around. bake for 10-15 min, flip and bake another 10-15 min or until crispy and browned on both sides.
- serve with sour cream with chopped green onion mixed inches.
Tips:
- Choose the right potatoes. Russet potatoes are the best choice for latkes because they are starchy and hold their shape well. Yukon Gold potatoes can also be used, but they will produce a softer latke.
- Grate the potatoes and zucchini finely. This will help the latkes cook evenly and prevent them from becoming too mushy.
- Squeeze out as much liquid as possible from the grated potatoes and zucchini. This will help the latkes get crispy.
- Add plenty of seasonings to the latkes. Salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder are all good choices. You can also add fresh herbs, such as dill or parsley, for extra flavor.
- Cook the latkes in a well-heated skillet. This will help them get crispy on the outside and cooked through on the inside.
- Serve the latkes hot with your favorite toppings. Sour cream, applesauce, and smoked salmon are all popular choices.
Conclusion:
