Spaghetti Squash Latkes
I bought a small spaghetti squash the other day because I REALLY wanted spaghetti squash. However, because my hubby doesn't like it with just butter salt & pepper like I do (and has barely liked any other way I've prepared it) I wanted to throw something new and unexpected his way. He loves when I make Latkes so I simply took my go-to Latke recipe, replaced the potato with spaghetti squash, and modified other ingredients accordingly. He actually enjoyed it!
I have included as the first few steps my personal favorite cooking method for spaghetti squash; roasting. This keeps the excess water content down. However, you can prep the squash whatever way you choose. You just might need to squeeze out excess moisture or add additional flour (that one would throw off the flavors), especially if you boil it. So I highly recommend roasting.

Cooking Instructions
- 1
While squash is raw cut off stem and cut a small sliver off of one side to create a flat spot for stability. Carefully cut in half lengthwise (seriously, be careful it will be hard to cut while raw).
- 2
Scoop out seeds. Rub 1 tbs olive oil all over inside and out of both halves (yes, skin too even though you won't use it). Place cut side down on a foil lined baking sheet.
- 3
Bake in a preheated 400°F oven for 45 minutes, or until outside gives when poked (don't poke with your finger, though, to avoid burns lol). When done, remove squash. Flip cut side up and let cool completely.
- 4
Scoop out and shred squash into a large bowl. Add all other ingredients, stir to combine. Start with 4 tbs flour and add more as needed. You're looking for a typical latke batter consistency. Also, if you like less salt start with 1/2 tsp. We thought they were perfectly seasoned, but tastes differ.
- 5
Heat 3 tbs oil in a medium skillet over medium high heat. Carefully spoon about 1/3 cup worth of batter into the skillet for each latke (I could fit about 3 at a time in my skillet without over crowding).
- 6
Turn heat down to medium and cook till browned on first side, about 3-5 minutes. Flip and cook until browned on second side.
- 7
Transfer to paper towel lined plate and sprinkle with additional salt if desired.
- 8
Serve warm garnished with sour cream or Greek yogurt and chives or dill. Enjoy!

On Cookpad, August 29, 2020.Latkes are fritters made from grated potatoes with onion, eggs, and a flour made from matzah, a flat Jewish bread that contains no yeast. They are a traditional food for the Jewish holiday Hanukkah. I made these with regular all-purpose wheat flour. These potato fritters are delicious.

While potatoes are the traditional base ingredient, Latkes can also incorporate various other elements like cheese, onion, and zucchini to add flavor and variety. These alternative ingredients provide delicious alternatives for those looking to explore different tastes and textures while still enjoying the cherished tradition of Latkes during the (Jewish) Hanukkah festivities.
