LATKA POP UP
Latkes, those golden-brown, crispy delights, have become synonymous with Hanukkah, elevating the humble potato to the status of a beloved culinary tradition. As the holiday approaches, I always reach for my great grandmother’s three-by-five recipe card for latkes.
No matter how many times my grandmother or mother made them for us, they both said they weren’t quite as good as Grandma Dora’s, even though the recipe is the same. It might have to do with the fact that Grandma Dora finely hand grated her potatoes and onions. I don’t have the courage to hand grate anything, I use the cuisinart. Grandma Dora also used matzoh meal instead of flour.
There's something special about gathering around the stove, frying up a batch and sharing them with loved ones. The downside is that your house, clothes and dogs will stink like frying oil for a few days.
If you want to make them yourself, here is the recipe, which is probably a lot like the one you already have at home.
Wishing you all happy cooking and happy holidays,
