Latke Time - Happy Chanukah
Candles lit, latkes frying, familiar 'comfort' smells, and presents waiting for ME to unwrap. To all of you who are celebrating the Festival of Lights - Happy Chanukah.

Happy Chanukah!
Latkes are potato pancakes - absolutely delicious!
It's shredded potatoes mixed with chopped onion, pepper, salt, a little flour and egg to bind it together. Heat a pan with some oil, and make little "pancakes" and fry until golden brown on each side.
I make them a couple of times a year along with homemade applesauce.

Hag Chanukah Sameyah!
CD - a latke is a potato pancake.
To experience the miracle of Chanukah you eat 1 latke, and then it burns 8 days.
Any public events where you live? In San Francisco the main event is the Bill Graham's Menora in the Union Square. The main celebration is this Sunday December 12 3:30pm-6pm.

Happy Hannukah, everyone! May the holiday season bring good things to all.
Love and Peace,
Debbie
Does anyone have a sweet potato latke recipe? And Dick--is your mom's recipe the standard latke one? I'm in the mood to make something different this year.

OWJ, this is a recipe from Gourmet Magazine. I have yet to try it but it sure sounds good (and different). Happy Chanukah!
1 pound sweet potatoes, peeled and coarsely grated
2 scallions, finely chopped
1/2 cup plus 2 teaspoons all-purpose flour
2 large eggs, lightly beaten
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
Vegetable oil
Stir together potatoes, scallions, flour, eggs, salt, and pepper.
Heat a film of oil in a deep 12-inch non-stick skillet over moderately high heat until hot but not smoking. Working in batches of 4, spoon 1/8 cup potato mixture per latke into the oil and flatten to 3-inch diameter with a slotted spatula. Reduce heat to moderate and cook until golden, about 1 1/2 minutes on each side. Transfer latkes with spatula to paper towels to drain.
There is also a "sweet" version with vanilla and brown sugar. Let me know if you are interested.
