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!

In my childhood, I have spent many occasions in my grandmothers kitchen, hand-grating potatoes till my knuckles were raw. One day, I decided to make my husband some, but of course why should I have potatoes in my pantry when I need them? So, out came the zucchinis that I had, and then the experimenting began. I must say these are not my grandmothers potato latkes, but they are a very tasty latke alternative.

2-3 large to medium zucchini

Kosher salt

Black pepper

1 large egg, beaten

3 scallions, chopped thinly

1 cup flour

½  cup feta cheese

4 tbsp. bread crumbs

2 tbsp. fresh dill

3tbsp. extra virgin olive oil

In a medium bowl, grate the zucchinis, sprinkle with kosher salt and pepper liberally over them, and mix well. Cover bowl with plastic and let the zucchini soak for 10 minutes.

Using your hands, squeeze out excess liquid from the zucchini in a small batches and transfer to a separate mixing bowl. Once you have transferred all the zucchini, add the egg, scallions, flour, feta cheese, bread crumbs and fresh dill and mix well with a fork.

In a large frying skillet over medium-high heat, heat up the olive oil. Scoop out the zucchini cheese mixture by the heaping tablespoon and drop into the hot oil. Let zucchini latke fry on one side for 2-3 minutes and then flip over and fry again for another 2-3 minutes. Repeat in small batches and serve hot with a dollop of sour cream or Greek yogurt a garnish.

Tip: this is a very delicate latke and will fall apart if you flip too much.Zucchini’s retain moisture so less oil is needed to fry with.
