My Take On Latkas

Ingredients:

1 Zucchini

1 Russet Potato

1 Carrot

2 Eggs

2 Tbsp Flour

1/4 Large sweet onion

1 Clove minced garlic

Salt & Pepper to taste

1 Tsp Turmeric

Canola Oil (I like to use the organic kind made by Spectrum)

Directions:

1. Peel & grate potato, grate carrot & zucchini onto a large kitchen towel

2. Spread out the grated vegetables on the towel, then roll it up, and wring it out to remove all of the excess water.

3. Place dried out veggies in a large mixing bowl

4. Chop onions, mince garlic, and add to the bowl

5. In another bowl beat eggs, and slowly add in flour and turmeric

6. Pour egg mixture into vegetable mixture, then mix the whole thing up, adding in salt and pepper.

7. Place a large frying pan on lit stove with about 2 tbsp of Canola oil, and let it heat up.

8. Place tbsp-sized balls of mixture into frying pan. Once they've been in for a few seconds squish them down with the spatula so that they become flat, like a latka.

9. After a few minutes flip over, and cook until both sides are med-dark brown.

10. Be sure to place them on paper towel when you take them out, and layer paper towel between the layers. This way any extra grease gets soaked up, and saves you the fat.

11. Each time you put new pancakes on the fryer you will have to add more Canola oil to the pan.
