This looks amazing, what is in the batter and how do you get it to stick to the chicken?

The batter is shredded potatoes, a couple of eggs, salt and pepper. I usually coat the chicken with flour or potato starch then dip it in the latka. If it falls off, I'll pour some latka directly in the pan of oil and then put the chicken on top. Then when it is time to flip, I'll add some more latka to the pan and place the chicken flipped over on top.

Anyone have recipes/ideas for lunch on chol hamoed to take to work? My husband and I are not big salad people, and the thought of taking matzah sandwiches makes me sad!

Baked apple. Hard boiled eggs. Avocado salad. Cheese snacks/yogurts. Fruit salad.
Egg salad. Mashed potatoes mixed with mashed eggs. Cheese blintzes. Mock liver made from eggplant. Carrot pineapple salad.
Apple kugel. Apple sauce.

These are lunch ideas that don't need to be warm

Anything you normally use crumbs to hold together like chicken patties you can use cooked potatoes instead or just use sauteed onions & grated veggies in mixture.

I once saw an idea to make a savory crepe and use it like a tortilla for deli rolls. You could also stuff it with tuna, or make tuna blintzes. How about stuffed baked potatoes for work? Or soup?

We pretty much keep klp year round in terms of not eating any outright chametz and the only kitniyot year round are mustard seeeds and green beans. We also only use EVOO and avocado oil (never saw avocado oil klp)during the year, and we make beef tallow and shmaltz . We don't eat potatoes ever. So here's what we eat regularly.

we make our own spice mixes, by throwing stuff together- garlic, onion, herbs, paprika- salt. You decide what goes in!

Pickled vegetables
sous vide meats with variations of our spice mix and oils, finished in the oven under broil
mashed cauliflower
mashed brocooli
mashed brussels sprouts
shnitzel made with almond flour
I make my own mayo-Olive oil alone is gross in mayo so I cut it with vinegar or lemon juice. considering trying tallow or chicken fat to make it too.
deviled eggs (with shallots diced and mixed in with coarse salt on top- updated 'eggs and onions' that we had as a family tradition but no one liked.
schwarma using lamb fat and turkey/chicken
we have jamaican friend who jerks us turkey
ground dark meat chicken as 'matzah balls' don't over cook. also use wet hands to form.
bone broths which we then season into soups of varying favours. This shabbos we had masala tasting broth with diced tomato chunks- or we have vietnamese pho and we put raw veg in as accents on the table. Or classic chicken soup with celery carrot and meatza balls (ground chicken)
