One cannot get more traditional than serving Latkes on Chanukah. These delicious potato fritters as simple and easy to make, represents the best of Jewish cuisine.

However with 8 long night of Chanukah to celebrate why not give your family a treat with great new twists on this classic Latke dish. Let the Latke Mania begin!

Recently I was shmoozing with a friend about falafel balls and how if you think about it, really is one of the greatest foods invented in my opinion. My mind started to race with all the different types of falafel balls I could make if I wanted to put a gourmet spin on them. This Mexican Bean Latke was the result of my experimenting. Even though it did not make a great falafel ball it makes a really yummy latke that I will definitely be serving one Chanukah night.

2 cups can chick peas

1 cup can black beans

1 package falafel mix

2 eggs

In a food processor, pulse together the chickpeas and the black beans and eggs together. Then add ¾  of your falafel mix into the chickpea mixture and blend well. Remove chickpea mixture onto a plate. On a separate paper plate, pour out the rest of your falafel mix. Using your hands create small latke patties with the chickpea mixture (as you would a mini hamburger patty). Then dip and coat all sides of your patty in the leftover falafel mixture.

Spray a frying pan well with non stick spray, and on medium-high heat pan fry your patties on both sides approximately 3-4 minutes each side.  Serve warm with guacamole and sour cream or Techina.

Tip: This recipe is great to make ahead – refrigerate the chickpea mixture up to 2 days in advance. Fry fresh as needed.
