"Latkes are traditionally made with grated potatoes and fried. Baking instead of frying these mini pancakes makes this appetizer a lot healthier. They can also be made ahead and reheated. Serve with maple dip or bottled salsa. This recipe came from one of local newspapers."

My cookbook is very unique as I have a Nutrient Analysis for each ingredient used in each recipe that shows you the values for Calories, Fat, Cholesterol and Sodium. A high-lighted bar shows the values on a per serving basis plus the Fat/Cal%. From Uncle Bill's Kitchen contains tried-and-true, tested, easy to follow reipes for both novice and experienced cooks. You'll find old Russian, Ukrainian, and other ethnic favorites, along with modern West Coast dishes. The Nutrient Analysis will please the health conscious.
