Crack eggs into a glass. Check to make sure
there are no blood spots!
Add egg, salt and pepper to the potato and
onion mixture, and use a wooden spoon to
mix it up!
Ask your adult assistant to help turn on
the stove.
Pour enough oil into the frying pan to cover
the bottom of the pan.
Use a large spoon to carefully place spoonfuls
of batter into the pan. Be careful - the oil is
hot!
Let the latkes fry for about 5 minutes on a
medium flame.
Ask your adult assistant to help turn the latkes
over using a spatula. Let the latkes fry for a
few more minutes, till they’re nice and brown
on both sides.
Ask your adult assistant to help take out the
latkes and place them on a plate to cool.
Serve with applesauce and enjoy! Don’t forget
to make a blessing!

Thank you, I am introducing my Son's 4K class to potato Latke and Jewish traditions in celebration of Hanukkah. My Son is the only Jewish kid in class so I am trying to make sure I give the kids a good understanding and not above their heads. Thanks for this website!

This recipe is perfictly safe for children, they should be allowed to use graters and peelers under adult supervision if they are young. I doubt they are expecting a 3 year old to read the recipe and prepare by themselves! I will be making it with my children this week. Looks fantastic :)

matzah meal
Thanks Helaine! You can certainly include matzah meal but it is not necessary, the latkes stay together nicely without.

Thanks for pointing that out! We've added the blessing in Hebrew.
Happy Chanukah!

The blessing Ha'adoma
You should at least write the blessing in hebrew to. It will help people to read hebrew as well as memorize the blessing.
