Chicken Latkes image

A tasty chicken latke recipe, flavoured with dill and served with a tzazikki sauce and your favourite salad. This is a great brunch, lunch or mid-week dinner dish. And because the potato and chicken are cooked together, a light salad not only complements the crispness of the latkes, but is an ample accompaniment. Adapted from a recipe on a 'Pan and Wok' recipe card, from International Masters Publishers.

Time 40m

Yield 8 latkes, 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

175 g chicken breast fillets, skinned
700 g baking potatoes
1 onion
2 egg whites
1 tablespoon self-raising flour
2 tablespoons fresh dill, plus dill to garnish
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons sunflower oil

Steps:

  • Cut the chicken into thin strips, about 6mm/1/4 inch wide.
  • Peel and grate the potatoes and place them in a colander. Peel the onion, then grate it into the colander. Press down on the mixture with the back of a spoon or with the palm of your hand, then to remove more excess moisture (so that the latkes crisp well) sandwich the potato/onion mixture between 2 sheets of paper towelling and squeeze until completely dry.
  • Lightly beat the egg whites in a large mixing bowl, stir in the flour, dill and salt. Add the chicken and the potato/onion mixture and stir until well-combined.
  • Heat the oil in a large, heavy-based non-stick pan.
  • Add 4 heaped tablespoons of the chicken/potato mixture, spacing well apart. Gently flatten each one with the back of a spatula, and sauté on each side, or until each side is cooked through and a golden brown. Remove the latkes from the pan, set aside and keep warm. Repeat the process with the remaining chicken/potato mixture to make 8 latkes.
  • Garnish with dill and serve with salad and a tzazikki sauce.
