It’s almost the weekend and it’s almost Hanukkah which means it’s potato latke time. And if you’re not using our recipe, you’re not really doing it right. Just sayin’.

Hanukkah starts tonight! Get yer taters frying.

Really love latkes? Buy the recipe as a tshirt in the new WCFoodies store.

jeremyk:

I don’t remember who said you can’t reheat a Latke, but Amy’s are SO GOOD that even two days later in the toaster I’m sucking the crumbs off my plate.

You can totally reheat a latke. The thinner, crispier ones reheat best. You just should never buy a premade latke. That is all.

THE AWL: How to cook a latke with Doree Shafrir

Fun fact: I’ve never had a latke, and up until 20 minutes ago when I asked Doree what kind of cheese she used (:/) I had no idea there was no cheese in them!

Also lol:

So your 20 latkes will cost $3.76 if you don’t have oil or flour or baking powder or salt. That’s the MAXIMUM they will cost. That’s 19 cents a latke.

And you’re still going to order them from Russ & Daughters? You must not be Jewish

CHEESE, David? Jesus.

Oh boy! This totally refers to that Russ and Daughters picture of latkes I posted last week talking about my craving for my mom’s latkes which are cooked very similarly to this recipe! FUCK THOSE EXPENSIVE LATKES BITCHES.

Excuse me, what kind of fascist only makes 20 latkes? Uncool!

There are 20 latkes IN A BATCH. You are welcome to double, triple, quadruple (etc.) the recipe as you see fit.

I’m just giving you a hard time - in my family, when we make latkes, we never really know how many we make because everyone starts grabbing the minute they come out of the oil.

Anyone want to have a Hanukah party?

I can make the food, but I can’t really host right now as we’re in between apartments.

Deep-Fried Garlic Cloves
Do I dare?

Wow. All it needs is a balsamic reduction drizzle and shavings of a hard Italian cheese ~ la magico nachos. Or fachos for all the word idolators.

No no no. A rosemary- or dill-and-lemon aioli, DUH.

I see great compatibility with Irish and Jewish cooking. In both traditions you slowly braise meats and vegetables together so that toothless grandmothers can chew them.

For Carboni.
Also, this will be the invite/flyer if I have a Hanukkah party this year. Which is still undecided.
