Does anyone have a latke recipe? Now, I realize that the basis of this question is kinda ridiculous since normally by definition, latkes are fried, but I figured I'd ask.

Sharon posted this one a long time ago. Never having tried it, or any for that matter, not sure if it's what you're looking for, but hope it helps!

but they are at home... I know one came from an article someone forwarded me a link to at AISH.com (not a site I frequent normally, but sometimes good for recipes and information in general)

I've definitely made latkes before without deep frying them - just pan frying them on the stove in a little bit of cooking spray - and they still come out fantastic
Here's a pretty good recipe (makes a lot):
Source: "Fat-Free Holiday Recipes" by Sandra Woodruff, RD
Yield: 24 pancakes
* 2 1/2 pounds large baking potatoes
* 1 medium Spanish onion
* 4 egg whites
* 2 tablespoons unbleached flour
* 1/2 teaspoon salt
* 1/4 teaspoon ground white pepper
Scrub the potatoes, but leave them unpeeled. Coarsely grate the potatoes into a large bowl of ice water. Let sit for 5 minutes. Drain off the water and roll the grated potatoes in a clean kitchen towel to remove excess water. Coarsely grate the onions.
Place the grated potatoes and onions in a large bowl and add the remaining ingredients. Stir to mix well.
Coat a large nonstick skillet or griddle with nonstick cooking spray and place it over medium-high heat. For each pancake, spoon 1/4 cup of the batter onto the skillet and spread to form a 3 1/2-inch pancake. Cook for 6 minutes on each side over medium-low heat or until golden brown on the outside and tender on the inside. As the pancakes are done, transfer them to a serving plate and keep warm in a preheated oven.
Serve warm with applesauce or nonfat [SOY] sour cream.
You can also bake-fry latkes by frying them in the oven. Preheat a nonstick frying pan in a hot oven. Spray it with olive oil (or place a few spoonfuls of oil on the baking sheet and swirl it around with the back of a wooden spoon). Spoon the potato mixture onto the baking sheet in small mounds and "fry" the resulting pancakes in the oven. The hot baking sheet acts like a deep fat fryer, while the small amount of oil helps the latkes crisp and brown. Bake-frying works better with smaller pieces of food, so form the latkes in 2-1/2-inch disks that you can gobble in one or two bites.

Healthy Serving
Baked Latkes
Idaho potatoes are best for this traditional Jewish dish. Serve your latkes with applesauce or non-fat sour cream.
Ingredients
* 2 lbs. potatoes, peeled and grated
* 1 onion, minced
* 1 clove garlic, minced
* 1 tsp. dried dill
* 4 tsp. canola oil
* 2 eggs
* ¼ cup flour
* ½ tsp. baking powder
* ¾ tsp salt
(more or less to taste)
* ¼ tsp pepper
(more or less to taste)
Directions
Preheat oven to 450°. Mix potatoes, onions, dill, eggs, garlic and two teaspoons oil, and mix well. Add flour, baking powder, salt and pepper and mix until all ingredients are combined. Spray two cookie sheets with non-stick cooking spray and grease with remaining oil. Drop mixture, teaspoon by teaspoon, onto the baking sheets, and flatten each slightly. Bake for 10 minutes, and then remove from oven. Flip each latke and bake for 10 minutes more, until all are light brown. Makes 2 dozen.
