Another Passover Recipe

I definitely realize that tomorrow is the first seder and I do have a menu prepared and most of the shopping done but I just found another recipe that I think I might swap out with my mash potatoes. I always make those for my daughter who is a little fussy. I found this great Baked Potato Latkes recipe that can be made ahead of time and it's even low fat.

Baked Potato Latkes

Ingredients

3 spray(s) cooking spray
2 pound(s) potato(es), yellow, peeled
3 medium shallot(s)
1/2 cup(s) fat-free egg substitute
3 tbsp matzo meal
1 1/2 tsp dried thyme
1 tsp table salt
1/2 tsp ground nutmeg
1/2 tsp black pepper, freshly ground

Instructions
Preheat the oven to 375ºF. Spray a standard 12-indentation muffin tin with nonstick spray.


Use the large holes of a box grater to shred the potatoes. Working by small handfuls, squeeze the shredded potatoes over the sink to get rid of any excess moisture. Place in a large bowl.


Stir in the shallots, egg substitute, matzo meal, thyme, salt, nutmeg, and pepper. Divide the mixture into the 12 muffin indentations.


Bake 30 minutes. Spray the tops again with nonstick spray. Continue baking until browned and set, about 30 more minutes. Cool at least 10 minutes on a wire rack before serving. Makes two latkes per serving.

Notes:
Store latkes in the tin, covered, in the refrigerator and reheat in a preheated 375ºF oven for about 15 minutes.

So if it isn't written in stone change it up and try this recipe.

Let me know what you think!
