I eat this recipe all the time, and cooking it in the oil doesn't bother me at all so I thought I would share. I usually eat these with a small turkey burger or a baked chicken breast.

1 lb. Idaho or russet potatoes, peeled
1 small onion, peeled
2 egg whites (or egg beaters)
2 Tbsp. flour
1/2 tsp. salt
1/4 tsp. ground black pepper
1/4 cup canola oil
1/4 cup of soy sour cream (optional)
1 Tbsp. chopped fresh chives (optional)

GRATE potatoes, then the onion using the large hole of a box grater. Place grated vegetables in the center of a large clean kitchen towel. Bring up the ends of the towel and twist together to form a pouch. Hold the bundle over the sink, then squeeze out as much excess moisture from the vegetables as possible. Place vegetable mixture in large bowl. Add egg, flour, salt and pepper; mix well.
HEAT oil in medium nonstick skillet on medium-high heat. Carefully drop tablespoonfuls of the vegetable mixture into skillet; spread each into thin circle with back of spoon. Repeat to cook 2 to 3 latkes at a time. Cook 3 to 4 min. on each side or until golden brown on both sides. Remove latkes from skillet; drain on paper towels and sprinkle with salt and pepper.
SERVE each latke topped with 1 tsp. of the sour cream; sprinkle lightly with chives. Serve warm. (I've sometimes topped with shredded soy mozz cheese, it's pretty good)
