December 7-15, 2023 is when Hanukkah, or Chanuka, is celebrated this year, and I hope to make these Traditional Latkes. I love Pancakes, especially Potato Pancakes. Latke is a Yiddish word that translates to “pancake.” On Hanukah, it is traditional to serve potato latkes fried in oil to celebrate the Miracle.
Thinking of our Jewish friends, I wanted to post about something, a recipe, that’d be fairly easy to make, and yet meaningful. So, Latkes it is…
Ingredients:
- 5 large potatoes, peeled
- 1 large onion
- 3 eggs
- 1/3 cup flour
- 1 tsp. Watkins Mediterranean Kosher Sea Salt
- ¼ tsp. Watkins Kosher Black Pepper
- ¾ cup oil for frying
Directions
Grate potatoes and onion on the fine side of a grater
Strain grated potatoes and onion and Squeeze out excess water.
Add eggs, flour, and seasoning. Mix well.
Heat ½ cup oil in a skillet.
Lower flame and place 1 large tablespoon batter at a time into hot sizzling oil
fry on one side for approximately 5 minutes until golden brown.
Turn over and fry on the other side for 2 to 3 minutes.
Remove from pan and place on paper towels to drain excess oil.
Serve with applesauce on the side, or perhaps Sour Cream,
which, being a dairy product, is symbolically significant in
The Story of Judith.
For over 150 Years Watkins has created quality products, and many are Certified Kosher.
