I modified this a bit, thinking that the oil was a bit much so I just sprayed them with my oil spritzer and cooked. Definately not the same as fried but good because they were probably alot lower in fat.

Sorry Chia!! Second try, with the proper stuff this time, we found the latkes to be very greasy, leaving only the taste of oil. Maybe they would be better properly deep fried rather than sitting in the oil and absorbing it for 45 minutes. Really sorry, just not to our taste.
