Lighten Up Latkes

It’s fine to indulge in the real thing—crispy, fried latkes—at least once during Hanukkah festivities, but if they’re going to be a regular feature on your holiday table, experiment with better-for-you versions that are baked or cooked in a nonstick pan with just a small amount of oil. Or, get creative with recipes that use low-cal veggies like zucchini, cauliflower, or broccoli in place of starchy potatoes. Dollop your latkes with lighter toppings, including light sour cream, nonfat Greek yogurt, or natural (unsweetened) apple sauce.
