- Yields:
-
8 latkes
- Serves:
- 4
ingredients
- 175 g chicken breast fillets, skinned
- 700 g baking potatoes
- 1 onion
- 2 egg whites
- 14.79 ml self-raising flour
- 29.58 ml fresh dill, plus dill to garnish
- 1.23 ml salt
- 29.58 ml sunflower oil
directions
- Cut the chicken into thin strips, about 6mm/1/4 inch wide.
- Peel and grate the potatoes and place them in a colander. Peel the onion, then grate it into the colander. Press down on the mixture with the back of a spoon or with the palm of your hand, then to remove more excess moisture (so that the latkes crisp well) sandwich the potato/onion mixture between 2 sheets of paper towelling and squeeze until completely dry.
- Lightly beat the egg whites in a large mixing bowl, stir in the flour, dill and salt. Add the chicken and the potato/onion mixture and stir until well-combined.
- Heat the oil in a large, heavy-based non-stick pan.
- Add 4 heaped tablespoons of the chicken/potato mixture, spacing well apart. Gently flatten each one with the back of a spatula, and sauté on each side, or until each side is cooked through and a golden brown. Remove the latkes from the pan, set aside and keep warm. Repeat the process with the remaining chicken/potato mixture to make 8 latkes.
- Garnish with dill and serve with salad and a tzazikki sauce.

Sunday supper is always something quick and simple and this recipe fit the bill. I scaled this down to one serving and used egg beaters in lieu of egg whites. The results were just delicious and made for a complete meal paired with a simple salad of romaine, cucumbers and grape tomatoes. Topped this with a generous sprinkling of sea salt, fresh grated pepper and a squeeze of lemon which provided a nice contrast to the dill. Thanks!

July 2008 update: VERY happy to be back on Zaar after about a two year absence due to having had no internet connection at home, and having been too unwell for a time so that getting re-connected wasn't even a priority!
<br>
<br>And really looking forward to getting back into the Zaar world and connecting again with the many wonderful people I knew before, and new people, of course!
