They won't really work well unless you put at least some oil around them. Still much healthier than frying.

We made baked sweet potato latkes the other night and they were AMAZINGLY YUMMY. We used a LOT of PAM spray on the aluminum foil. Baked them for about 40 minutes at 375 (depends if you want well-done or not).

You need to use oil to bake latkes too so you're not being unfaithful. lol.

Yes. The custom is to eat foods cooked in oil, not to consume pancakes made from starchy tubers. Baked latkes are fine any time of year, but they have nothing to do with Chanuka. AAMOF, potatoes, originating in the New World, did not even exist in EY at the time of the Chashmonaim.

It's the OIL that's the point, not the pancake or the potato. There's no need to go overboard. You can saute some veggies in a small quantity of oil and be "yotze" the custom of eating fried foods without killing your diet.
