The Potato Pancake Principle by Joan Nathan,From Food Editors’ Favorites. Joan Nathan submitted this. The blurb said “Recently, when demonstrating how to make potato latkes for Hanukkah, I discarded my recipes and put together a ratio of potatoes to other ingredients. I call it the potato pancake principle”. You can use 1 potato plus a beet or a zucchini instead of 2 potatoes. *Note-Joan recommends making them early in the day, letting them drain all day long (do not refrigerate), then crisping again just before eating by putting them on an ungreased cookie sheet in a 350 degree oven until just warm.,My hubby is the “latke king;” and, he makes these frequently. He does it by eye, and doesn’t follow a recipe, but this is very similar. He uses egg whites rather than whole eggs for fat reduction and only uses parsley if we happen to have it on hand. This is one of my absolute favorite meals, and is extremely economical and nutritious. One large baking potato is plenty for the two of us. Applesuce and sour cream are a must.,From Food Editors’ Favorites. Joan Nathan submitted this.
