Total Time: 40 mins Preparation Time: 15 mins Cook Time: 25 mins

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

Recipe

• 1 cut the chicken into thin strips, about 6mm/1/4 inch wide.
• 2 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.
• 3 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.
• 4 heat the oil in a large, heavy-based non-stick pan.
• 5 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.
• 6 garnish with dill and serve with salad and a tzazikki sauce.
