Latkes for Hanukkah

Last night my housemates and I made latkes for dinner - scroll down for the recipe!

Mixture of grated potatoes, onions flour, beaten eggs, salt, pepper, and baking powder

Frying the latkes and grilling chicken


Yum.

Salad, chicken, latkes, applesauce, and sour cream!


Just figured I'd throw in a picture of our hearth with the rocking chair, since it was really Chrismukkah that we celebrated. Note my Metropolitan Museum of Art advent calendar!


Here's the recipe we used for the latkes:

4 large russet potatoes (about 1 pound each)
1 large onion
3 eggs
1/2 cup matzo meal or 1/4 cup flour
2 tsp salt
1/8 tsp white pepper
1/2 tsp Baking Powder (mix in with the four)

Peel the potatoes and grate them either by hand or in a food processor. Squeeze the grated potatoes by handfuls to get rid of the excess starchy water or drain in a colinder. Place the potatoes in a bowl. Peel and grate the onion and beat the eggs lightly. Add the grated onion, beaten eggs, flour, baking powder, salt and pepper, and mix well. Heat about 1/4 cup oil in pan. Fry!
