ZUCCHINI LATKES
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.

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.

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).

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.

Categories Vegetable
Number Of Ingredients 13
Steps:
- Directions 1. Preheat oven to 450 degrees F. Coat a baking sheet with cooking spray. 2. Toss zucchini, potato, 3 tablespoons shallot and egg in a large bowl. Add breadcrumbs, feta, 1 tablespoon dill, 1/4 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper; toss to combine. Form the mixture into 12 patties. 3. Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add 6 patties, cover and cook until crispy and browned on one side, 2 to 5 minutes. Carefully transfer the latkes to the prepared pan, browned-side down. Repeat with the remaining 1 tablespoon oil and patties. 4. Transfer the latkes to the oven and bake until firm and heated through, 10 to 12 minutes. 5. Meanwhile, prepare tzatziki: Combine yogurt, cucumber, vinegar, the remaining minced shallot, 1 tablespoon dill and 1/4 teaspoon each salt and pepper in a small bowl. Serve the latkes with the tzatziki on the side.
Tips:
- Use a sharp grater to get thin, even slices of zucchini.
- Squeeze the grated zucchini well to remove excess moisture. This will help the latkes to be crispy.
- Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing will make the latkes tough.
- Heat the oil over medium heat. If the oil is too hot, the latkes will burn.
- Cook the latkes in batches so that they don't overcrowd the pan. This will help them to cook evenly.
- Serve the latkes hot with your favorite toppings.
Conclusion:
Zucchini latkes are a delicious and easy-to-make side dish or appetizer. They are a great way to use up summer zucchini and can be served with a variety of toppings. Whether you like them with sour cream, applesauce, or just a sprinkle of salt and pepper, zucchini latkes are sure to be a hit at your next gathering.
