Latke – Without the Patchke
We typically commemorate the miracle of Chanukah by eating oil-drenched foods. But as always, I’m putting a twist on tradition by creating two super-healthy and easy non-fried recipes showcasing the veggie of the month: POTATOES!
Tater Tot “Latke”
Avoid standing over the stove by a hot pan of oil, and pop frozen Tater Tots in a waffle maker, creating a crispy flaky makeshift latke. What a delicious shortcut!
Ingredients:
1 bag frozen Tater Tots, or enough to feed your crowd
Instructions:
Truffle Baked Curly Fries
Here’s a whimsical fried alternative to baked french fries. Spice these up however you’d like. I love the combination of potatoes and truffle seasoning. The flavors speak for themselves, but the shape is just for fun!
Ingredients:
5 Idaho potatoes, spiralized
1 teaspoon truffle salt (or truffle oil)
1/2 tsp. garlic powder
1/4 tsp. black pepper
3 tbs. oil
Sliced scallions, for garnish
Instructions:
Winning Dips
Typically, latkes are served with apple sauce or sour cream, but both those toppings can be kind of bland in flavor. Up your game this Chanukah with these sour cream dips!
Green Goodness Sour Cream
1 1/2 cups sour cream
1/4 cup parsley, chopped fine
2 tbs. milk
2 tbs. dill (fresh/dry)
2 tbs. fresh lemon juice
1/2 tsp. garlic powder
1/2 tsp. salt
1/2 tsp. pepper
Spicy Sour Cream
1 1/2 cups sour cream
1/4 cup sriracha
1 tbs. lime juice
1/4 tsp. salt
