Crispy Latkes

When I went to see my nutritionist last week for my weekly visit she said "OK, let's talk Chanuka"  Traditionally we eat lots of fried and dairy foods on Chanuka with donuts being a big one.  And fried and donuts and dairy are all not conducive to weight loss.  I mean, all in moderation but on . . .
