* From "The (Almost) No-Fat Holiday Cookbook" by Bryan Clark Gorgon, The Book Publishing Company, 1995.

9 medium russet potatoes -- peeled and grated
1 large onion -- peeled and grated
3/4 cup whole wheat flour
1/3 cup nutritional yeast
1 tablespoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon white pepper

Mix the onion and potato together well in a large bowl. Add the other ingredients and mix well. Cook latkas on a large, heavy non-stick or lightly oiled skillet or on a non-stick, electric pancake griddle. Place 1/4 cup of the potato mixture for each latka onto the preheated griddle or skillet.

Flatten into thin pancakes with a spatula. Cover them with lids or foil (or an inverted cookie sheet over the griddle) and cook until the bottoms are golden brown. Flip them over and cook, uncovered, until the second side is golden brown.

Serve hot with applesauce and tofu sour cream.
