Wait\u2026Is it possible to eat more health-consciously on Chanukah, to enjoy the \u201coil\u201d factor of the miracle while increasing our nutrition panel at the same time?<\/p>\n<p>In terms of latkes, potatoes are a good vegetable with a profile of Vitamin C, Vitamin B-6, potassium, carbohydrates, and some fiber and magnesium. They are filling and average about 150 calories per potato. However when grated and fried, latkes can become high-calorie dishes.<\/p>\n<p>Other vegetables and tubers rank much lower on the glycemic scale than the regular potato and can add additional vitamins and minerals. Our recommendation would be to mix and match some veggies into\u00a0your favorite potato latke recipe, adding some color, nutrients, and fun tastes and textures.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Classic Potato Latke Recipe with a Twist<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>\u00a02 1\/2 cups\u00a0peeled, shredded potato (about 1 large potato)<br \/>\n*Grate or shred the potatoes into a bowl of cold water to prevent browning<\/li>\n<li>1 1\/4 cups\u00a0peeled, shredded carrots or zucchini<\/li>\n<li>1 1\/4 cups\u00a0peeled, shredded sweet potato<\/li>\n<li>1 tsp\u00a0salt<\/li>\n<li>1 1\/4 cups\u00a0chopped onion<\/li>\n<li>1\/4 cup\u00a0flour\u00a0(can use whole wheat)<\/li>\n<li>1\/2 tsp\u00a0black pepper<\/li>\n<li>2 tbsp\u00a0oil, divided (can use olive oil, grape seed oil, sesame oil, etc.)<\/li>\n<li>\u00a02 large egg whites or 1 egg<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Directions<\/span><\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Combine the first 4 ingredients in a colander or strainer lined with paper towels; let drain and squeeze excess moisture from potato mixture<\/li>\n<li>Transfer potato mixture to a large bowl.
