     Title: Hanukkah Poutine
Categories: Potatoes, Vegetables, Cheese, Breads
     Yield: 4 servings

     4 lg Nicola or Desiree potatoes;
          - peeled, chopped
     1 sm White onion, chopped
     2 lg Eggs; lightly beaten
 1 1/2 tb Matzo meal (see note)
     2 ts Kosher or coarse cooking
          - salt
          Fresh ground black pepper
          Oil; to shallow-fry
     1    Ball fresh kosher
          - mozzarella; shredded

MMMMM-----------------------PARMESAN GRAVY----------------------------
    15 g  Butter
     1 cl Garlic; crushed
     3 ts Plain flour
   240 ml Vegetable stock
     2 ts Soy sauce
 1 1/2 tb Grated kosher Parmesan
          Salt & pepper

 COOK'S NOTES: Oven temperatures are for conventional; if
 using fan-forced (convection), reduce the temperature by
 20oC/65oF.

 We use Australian tablespoons and cups: 1 teaspoon
 equals 5 ml; 1 tablespoon equals 20 ml; 1 cup equals 250
 ml.

 All herbs are fresh (unless specified) and cups are
 lightly packed.

 All vegetables are medium size and peeled, unless
 specified.

 METHOD: Place the potatoes and onions in a food
 processor and process until finely chopped, then
 immediately place in a bowl of water to prevent
 browning. Strain through a sieve, then place on a large
 piece of muslin or clean Chux. Wrap tightly and squeeze
 out as much liquid as possible into a bowl. Let the
 liquid sit for 5 minutes or until the potato starch
 settles to the bottom. Slowly pour off the liquid into
 the sink, leaving the potato starch in the bowl. Add the
 eggs, matzo meal, salt and pepper to the starch and stir
 to combine. Stir in the potato mixture.

 Fill a large frypan 1/2 cm deep with the oil and heat
 over medium heat. Working in batches, using a mini ice
 cream scoop, scoop potato mixture into pan. Cook,
 turning, for 4-5 minutes or until golden brown all over.
 Drain on paper towels and keep warm.

 To make the parmesan gravy, melt the butter in a
 saucepan over medium heat. Add the garlic and cook,
 stirring, for 1 minute or until softened and fragrant,
 but not browned. Add the flour and stir continuously
 until deep golden. Be careful not to burn it! Whisking
 continuously, gradually add the stock, and continue to
 whisk until the mixture comes to a boil. Add the soy
 sauce and parmesan, reduce heat to medium-low and cook,
 whisking constantly, for 5-10 minutes or until smooth
 and thickened. Season with salt and pepper (it shouldn't
 need more than a pinch of salt because the soy sauce and
 parmesan are salty). Strain through a fine-mesh sieve,
 if desired, for silky smooth gravy. Keep warm.

 Place the mini potato latkes on a platter, making sure
 they are hot so the mozzarella will melt, then scatter
 over the mozzarella and drizzle generously with the warm
 gravy to serve.

 NOTES: Matzo meal is available from the kosher section
 of selected supermarkets.

 To make it pareve (kosher dairy & meat free), omit the
 parmesan and substitute vegan butter. For a variation,
 substitute the mini latkes for French fries, potato
 wedges or tater tots.
