Josef’s Mom Presents Her Low-Carb Latkes
Believe it or not, I am not a fan of man-boobs, spare tires or muffin tops. So, to that end I don’t eat much in the way of fried starch. I love latkes, but fried potatoes don’t do anything for my girlish figure:-). With that in mind, my mother came up with this recipe.
Honestly, I was skeptical at first – “green latkes? That ain’t right.” But, they are simply delicious, and pretty easy to make.
