Did You Say Latkes!?!

Shalom Y'all,
              I pray all is well with you and yours. Here at the Long Household we are preparing for Hanukkah and Kwanzaa,both fell on the same week this years!!! How exciting is that..Masai thinks it's the best thing ever lol. For both of these beautiful celebrations family and food are definitely at the center of them. Since we loove to cook this will be a piece of cake for us. However being that we try to live a complete holistic lifestyle I've decided to take some of our traditional family recipe and throw a healthier spin on it. So the Star for our Hanukkah Feast will be Latkes and Chucky Apple Sauce,so let's get started!

Latkes(4-6 servings)
4 medium russet potatoes
1 sm yellow onion
1/4 oat flour
1t baking powder
1T fresh basil
1T apple cider vinegar
1/2t himalayan salt
1/2t cracked black pepper
1/2cup distilled water
4T chia seeds
5T olive oil

Chunky Apple Sauce(3-4 servings)
3 medium gala apples
1t organic sugar
1t cinnamon
1t ground ginger
1/4 ground clove

Use a shredder to shredd potatoes(like you would for hash browns). Wash several times until water is clear. Set aside. Get a jar with a lid,add your 1/2 cup of water. Slowly add the 4T chia seeds. Secure with lid and give it a few shakes set aside. Chop up your onion and basil add to well drained potatoes. Add the flour,baking powder  and all seasoning. Take about 3T of your chia seed gel and add into the mixture. Carefully sprinkle the apple cider vinegar on top. Combine well,form in to 4-6 potato cakes. Place in inbox for 10-15 minutes.

Meanwhile wash and cut the skin off your gala apples. Place in a pot of boiling water. Cook until tender. Strain water off. Smash with a potatoe smasher. Add the sugar,cinnamon,ginger,and clove. Mix well. Place in icebox to chill.

Remove your Latkes from the icebox add your olive oil to a cast iron skillet. Allow to get hot(not boiling). Gently add 3 latkes at a time. Cook 3-4 minutes until nice and brown on either side. Once all latkes have been fried(or baked at 350 for 15 minutes per side). Remove chunky apple serve and enjoy!
