The Dutch know the potatoes are good in our diets. My ancestor's are Dutch.

Rutabaga Cakes/latkes, or I use potatoes. It's a good idea to learn to use other vegetable. Mix 1/2 and half i.e.
Prep time: 10 minutesCook time: 15 to 20 minutes
Total time: 25 to 30 minutes
Yield: 10 to 12 latkes
Ingredients
- 1 lb. peeled, grated rutabaga (Latkes)
- 1 scallion, minced
- 1 egg, lightly beaten
- 1 Tbsp. coconut flour
- 3-4 Tbsp. raw, shelled hemp seeds
- 1 tsp. salt
- Pepper to taste
- A few gratings of fresh nutmeg
- Olive oil or coconut oil for frying
Cooking Directions
- In a large bowl, add grated rutabaga, minced scallion, beaten egg, coconut flour, hemp seeds,salt, pepper and nutmeg. Mix well.
- In a large skillet, heat a good tablespoon of olive oil between medium low and medium heat. Working in batches of 3 latkes, spoon about 2 tablespoons of mixture per latke into skillet, spreading into 3 to 4 inch rounds and frying until the edges begin to brown. Flip and fry until other side is golden brown. Repeat with remaining latke mixture, adding another good tablespoon of olive oil to the skillet for each batch.
- When latkes are done frying, place in warm oven on wire racks on a rimmed baking sheet. This keeps latkes crispy until ready to serve.

Crispy Fries
Are you hungry for healthier fries? Splurge once in a while try one of these versions. Foods expensive and so is eating out. So make your own at home in non-alum. And, use a non- Teflon pans.
Ingredients:
Presto Fry Baby Deep Fryer (uses less oil) or pan fitting to the amount of potatoes to lay out flat. Course Black Pepper (optional)
Lawry's Seasoning Salt or its copycats
3-4 small to medium organic potatoes (1 large serving)
1/4-cup flour
Healthy sunflower or another mono-oils, olive etc. (can be mixed too)
The best tasting is fry the potatoes in a Presto Fry Baby I picked up at a
thrift store. It uses very little oil. Oil doesn't go ran cent if its heated up again (high heat) and
lasts a long time using it over and over again like in restaurants. The
exceptions are if you fry meats, which I never do to my oils.
I use this recipe when I crave fries. The ones at fast food restaurants are not
healthy. You can use any kind of potatoes you have on hand.
Potatoes are not as bad for you as fanatic's say. Remember the eggs scare and now
they've changed their minds.
Cut uniformly potatoes in French fry style so they will be all done and brown
the same. (larger)
In a big bowel add to the cut enough Lawry's Seasoning Salt to cover
the potatoes and toss. Afterwards add about 1/4 cup of flour tossing evenly over
all the fries then drop them in the hot oil. I always test one fry to see if the
oil is sizzling, but not too hot. Never leave oil unattended!
When brown and crispy remove and drain on paper towel. Eat up they’re delicious!
Alternative style: 424 f.
Another way would be instead of frying with a deep fryer is to toss them in a
little oil till every fry is coated (no excess oil in bowel.) Then lay them out flat and
evenly on a cookie sheet baking them in a hot oven till they reach the golden brown desired. Be sure to turn them over once or twice before the right crispiness is desired.
Some low-fat die hards can use (egg white instead of oil) or just a butter baking spray instead of oil and the your seasoning i.e.Apple WedgesCan be done w the same method, peel first, coat with flour or pancake flour, salt, cinnamon. Fry in a bit of oil making sure you brown each side before turning. Drain on paper towel and sprinkle sugar on top or with cool whip or ice cream.
