Passover begins at sundown this evening, hence six diabetic Passover recipes, including Cinnamon Raisin Kugel and Apricot-Walnut Swirl Coffeecake. And to all my friends who are Jewish, here's to a happy Passover. Enjoy!
NO-FRY POTATO AND SPINACH LATKAS
This begins, “Latkas are served at Chanukah to celebrate the miracle of a little bit of oil lasting for 8 days. Traditional latkas are usually fried in 1/4 cup of oil, so 1 latka contains about 3 grams of fat. I don't know anyone who can stop at just 1 latka, so these 'no-guilt' latkas are a terrific alternative. Each one contains just over a gram of fat – that's a miracle!
“Can be frozen. Serve with salsa, tzadziki, low-fat sour cream or yogurt.”
Yield: 24 medium latkas or 6 dozen miniatures. (3 minis equal 1 medium latka.)

Ingredients
4 tsp. canola or vegetable oil, divided
3 medium Idaho potatoes
10 oz. package frozen chopped spinach, thawed and squeezed dry
1 medium onion
1 or 2 carrots
2 tbsp. minced fresh dill (or 2 tsp. dried dill)
2 eggs plus 2 egg whites (or 3 eggs)
1/4 c. flour (white or whole wheat)
1/2 tsp. baking powder
3/4 tsp. salt
1/4 tsp. pepper
Directions
Place oven racks on the lowest and middle positions in your oven. Preheat oven to 450 degrees F. Line 2 baking sheets with aluminum foil. Spray with non-stick spray, then brush each pan with 1 tsp. of oil. (This provides a crispy exterior to the latka.)
Peel potatoes or scrub well if you don't want to peel them. Using the Grater of your processor, grate potatoes, using light pressure. Remove potatoes from processor. Insert Steel Knife and process spinach, onion, carrots and dill until fine. Add grated potatoes, eggs, egg whites and remaining 2 tsp. oil. Process with quick on/offs to mix. Quickly blend in remaining ingredients.
Drop mixture by rounded spoonfuls onto prepared baking sheets. Flatten slightly with the back of the spoon to form latkas. Bake uncovered at 450 degrees F for 10 minutes, or until bottoms are nicely browned and crispy. Turn latkas over. Transfer pan from the upper rack to the lower rack and vice versa. Bake about 8 to 10 minutes longer, or until brown. Serve immediately.

BAKED POTATO PANCAKES
Found online at http://diabeticgourmet.com/recipes/html/436.shtml Makes about 16 pancakes or 8 servings.
Ingredients
Canola oil cooking spray
6 medium Yukon Gold potatoes peeled
2 large carrots, scraped
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
1/4 cup flat-leaf parsley, finely minced
1/4 cup green onion, finely chopped
2 large eggs, beaten
1 Tbsp. canola oil
1/2 tsp. salt
1/2 tsp. freshly ground black pepper
reduced-fat sour cream or applesauce (optional)
Directions
Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Spray large non-stick baking sheet with oil spray. Coarsely grate potatoes and carrots. Place them in large sieve. Set sieve into a large bowl so it nestles securely. Squeeze vegetables to wring out as much liquid as possible. If vegetables still feel wet, pat dry with paper towels, then transfer them to a mixing bowl. Stir in flour, parsley, onion, eggs, oil, salt and pepper, making sure ingredients are well combined.
Spoon small mounds of the mixture on the baking sheet to form 2 1/2-inch pancakes, leaving 1 inch between each. Bake latkes until golden brown, 6 to 8 minutes per side, turning once with spatula. Pancakes can also be made in a pan, preferably non-stick, with a light coating of canola oil spray on the bottom. Heat pan to high, then reduce to medium or medium-high heat. Transfer cooked pancakes to warm plates or a serving platter and serve at once. If desired, serve with low-fat sour cream or applesauce.

Ingredients
1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil or canola oil
1 cup plus 2 tablespoons (1/3-inch dice) zucchini
1 cup fresh or frozen whole kernel corn
1/2 cup chopped red bell pepper
1/2 cup chopped onion
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
3 cups cooked brown rice
Scant 1/2 teaspoon salt
Directions
Place the oil in a large deep nonstick skillet and preheat over medium-high heat. Add the zucchini, corn, red bell pepper, onion, and oregano. Cook, stirring frequently, for 3 to 4 minutes, just until the vegetables are crisp-tender.
Periodically place a lid over the skillet if it becomes too dry. (The steam released from the cooking vegetables will moisten the skillet.)
Add the rice and salt to the skillet mixture and reduce the heat to medium. Cook, stirring frequently, for a couple of minutes, until the mixture is heated through. Add a tablespoon or two of water if the mixture seems too dry. Serve hot.
