These "Low-Carb Latkes, Veggie Burgers" don't have to be reserved for Chanukah. They can be served any time at all, even Passover or no special occasion.
*I used the food processor shredder on:
- carrots
- oinions
- celeriac
- squash
- and one little potato
Then I mixed it with a couple of eggs, added salt and pepper and then a bit of matzah meal.
I shaped them into "patties" as you can see, dribbled a bit of oil on each, and then baked them in a medium oven until ready, cooked on both sides and inside, too.
Those at the Chanukah Party who are trying to keep their weight down were very happy with them.

There's no such thing as exact measurements, sorry. Choose the veggies you want, and you can add others, plus cooked/soft beans or lentils, and you need enough eggs to mix it and enough matzah meal to shape them.

Batya I make these burgers all the time but I use bread crumbs instead of matza meal..keeps the burgers moisture.
ENJOY!

I never use bread crumbs for anything, just matzah meal or nothing.
I have to say these look great, I might have to give them a try but I will probably use almond flour instead of matzah meal just to get it a little more low carb, o and i wont use the potato.
lcr, You can certainly play with it and even add seeds etc. Let me know how it comes out.
I use sweet potatoes for a recipe from the New York Times (soooorry!....) which has measurements:
3 pounds Yukon gold potatoes
1 medium onion
1/3 cup matzoh meal or unbleached white flour
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
2 eggs plus 4 egg whites
3 tablespoons chopped parsley
kosher salt and ground black pepper
olive oil to spray
again, I always use sweet potatoes and it tastes delicious.
a, sounds great! Thanks
