Potato Latkes

This version is lower in fat than the original and much better!

4 large russet baking potatoes, peeled and grated
1 cup diced onion
2 whole eggs, beaten
3/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
2 teaspoons olive oil
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour

In a medium bowl combine potatoes and onions and mix well. Add eggs, salt, pepper and olive oil. Sift in flour last and mix well.

Lightly spray a large saute pan with canola oil. Portion a scant 1/4 cup potato mixture for each latke, then flatten and cook 3 latkes in pan at a time. Cook for about three minutes, or until golden brown on the bottom, then flip and finish browning on the other side.

Serve 3 latkes with nonfat yogurt, nonfat sour cream or applesauce.
