Hanukah - fat free potato latkes

I survived Hanukah. I didn't lose any weight, but did maintain it. One thing I made was fat-free potato latkes. They were not too difficult and were tasty with unsweetened applesauce.

5 cups grated potatoes
1 medium onion, grated or chopped finely
1/2 tsp salt (or less, you can always put some on at the table)
1 tablespoon dried parsely
2 tsp corn starch
2 tbsp matzo meal
1/8 tsp black pepper (optional)


Potatoes should be either grated. You can chop them finely in a food processor (the bits should be fine, like rice if you chop it), but you will need to add more mato meal then. Add the onions, corn starch, and matzo meal, parsely, salt, and pepper. If it seems too dry, add up to 1/4 cup of water. If it seems too moist to form patties, add a bit more matzo meal.

Form into patties and fry on a non-stick skillet at medium heat. You may use a bit of non-stick spray if you wish. Let cook for 8 minutes before turning and cook 8 minutes on the other side.

This is not core, but when made with amounts above, 1/2 the recipe is 8 points. If you divide it into 4 servings, then each is 4 points. You could possibly make this core by using corn meal to bind it in place of the mazo meal.
