Creator Commentaire
Latkes are potato pancakes which can also very properly be fried in oil. They are a avancé Hanukah meals, ready to affirm the someday’s worth of oil that is stated to bear burned for 8 days so many years ago. Whereas there are many strategies to invent latkes, one élément is obvious: you could to presumably like to be visible they don’t turn out soggy by draining as exceptional water out of the grated potatoes as doubtless. Whereas purists will drawl that there wish to be no flour or different fillers added to potato pancakes and that they wish to be fried very thin, I capture that including 2 tablespoons of flour (or matzoh meal or leftover mashed potatoes, if you bear them), helps all the pieces balle à la main over collectively properly. The egg acts as a binder, as properly, though I’ve made them without eggs they generally worked out factual dazzling. Whenever you’re procuring for even thicker latkes, you can add an additional egg and rather serviteur flour (or matzoh meal or leftover mashed potatoes). Whereas you could to presumably, clearly, grate the potatoes by balle à la main, it is procedure exceptional more uncomplicated to make exhaust of a meals processor. Whenever you master avancé potato pancakes, you can department out and vary them in heaps of strategies. I’ve added grated apple and chives; I’ve in model shallot and garlic rather than onion; I’ve made candy potato zucchini latkes with ginger, cilantro, and chilies and I’ve seen recipes featuring parsnips and carrots, as properly. Grapeseed oil is my frying oil of resolution by manner of latkes; they are perfect when eaten without delay, nonetheless if absolutely obligatory, you can freeze them and then warm them in a 350°F oven sooner than serving. —WinnieAb
