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.

Tips:

Use a large box grater to quickly and easily grate the zucchini, onion, and pepper.
Squeeze out as much excess moisture from the grated vegetables as possible before adding them to the batter. This will help the latkes to be crispy.
Be careful not to overmix the batter. Overmixing will make the latkes tough.
Heat the oil over medium-high heat before adding the latkes. This will help them to cook evenly and prevent them from sticking to the pan.
Cook the latkes for 2-3 minutes per side, or until they are golden brown and crispy.
Serve the latkes immediately with your favorite dipping sauce.
