Latkes,
or potato pancakes, are a simple recipe, and you can put in different
vegetables or spices if you want. They can be eaten on their own, as a snack, or
with something else, and taste good with some kind of dip to go with them.
I
used dry lentils and white potatoes, but you can use canned lentils if you don't want to cook them. I bought the
ingredients from the Market on Yates, as they had green onions on sale, but
prices will be similar at most stores.
