Why wait until Hanukkah for latkes?
A crisp edge. A soft middle. A familiar argument about what goes on top.
Potato latkes are a Hanukkah favorite. Eating foods fried in oil recalls the oil at the heart of the holiday's story. Every household brings its own version, and the memories are often as much a part of the dish as the potatoes.
Bring it to your table
Set out a latke tasting plate with applesauce and a savory dip. Let everyone choose a favorite, then swap stories about who made the latkes they remember best.
Applesauce, sour cream, or something unexpected?
