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.

Equipment
Colander, paper towels, large mixing bowl, large heavy-based non-stick pan, spatula
Ingredients
- 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
Instructions
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.
