Guest guest Posted December 6, 2002 Report Share Posted December 6, 2002 Tasty Potato Latkes Latkes are one treat that has become closely associated with Hanukkah. It becomes a family production with the kids shredding the potatoes, Mom mixing all the recipe ingredients together, and Dad forming and frying the latkes. Remember, you don't have to celebrate Hanukkah to enjoy a crisp and tasty potato pancake. 4 medium potatoes, about 1 1/2 pounds 3 tablespoons olive oil 2 eggs, slightly beaten 2 cloves garlic (optional) 1/2 teaspoon salt 2 tablespoons cooking oil Non-dairy sour cream 1. Peel and finely shred potatoes. In a mixing bowl combine potatoes with olive oil, eggs,garlic (if desired), and salt. Using 1/3 cup mixture for each latke, press mixture into patties about the size of the palm of your hand, squeezing out excess liquid. 2. In a large skillet heat oil over medium-high heat. Carefully slide patties into hot oil. 3. Cook over medium-high heat about 2 minutes or until latkes are golden brown, turning once. 4. Repeat with remaining batter. Add cooking additional oil during cooking, as needed. 5. If necessary, reduce heat to medium to prevent overbrowning. Drain on paper towels and keep warm. Serve with non-dairy sour cream, if desired. Makes about 10 latkes. (Nutrition information is given per latke plus 1 teaspoon non-dairy sour cream.)
