Chanukah Latkes

How many latkes does this make? Reply

My parents made potatoe pancakes all our life, I had no idea they are actually called latkes, they also always made walnut cake, which in reading the recipe for purim is very similar, they never put chocolate in it. Our last name was also Schwartz, which is a german/jewish name, which my sister and I studied out a couple of years ago, quite interesting. Reply

Re: grind! I would take the word 'grind' to mean 'grate'. Grin ding would make the potatoes too mushy. This is my opinion, I could be wrong.
Chanukah Sameach to all. Reply

Lovely Thank you very much for the lovely recipe! I added a big onion as suggested below (would surely have been nice without, too) and the latkes were great. Thanks again and Chanukah sameach! Reply

method please How do you grind the potatoes Reply

its amazing Reply

Re: Latlke recipe for kids Ooops, someone forgot to put grated onions in the recipe. With 5 potatoes you need at least one large or 2 smallish/medium size grated onions. Adding the onions might mean a little more flour might be needed due to moistness of onions.
Geshmucht!
This is how my mother made them. Can't come any better than that. Reply

latkes Adding onion keeps the potatoes from turning black.
If you drain the grated onion/potato mixture in a clean towel you can drain the water very quickly and thoroughly then add eggs and matzoh meal (need much less now that the water is removed) and seasonings. Makes a white, light textured latke. Reply

Chanukah Latkes My mother used vegetable shortening to grease her frying pan, but I don't remember her using flour - she used sugar to make them sweet! Reply
