If you get a chance to try a latke, do it. Esty Greenberg from the Alaska Jewish Campus gave me a lesson on how to make the salty potato pancakes, which are traditionally served during Chanukah. She didn’t have a recipe, Etsy is from the ‘a little pinch of this, a sprinkle of that,’ school. Here’s what I do know, you need about six potatoes, an onion, three-ish eggs and oil. Etsy says any kind of oil works fine, although most people recommend using peanut oil. She grated the potatoes and finely chopped the onion. Eggs were added into that mix until the consistency was slightly runny looking.
She scoped up a spoonful and put it in a pan with hot oil. After about five-ish minutes Etsy flipped the latkes.
They kind of look, and feel, like traditional pancakes although it’s salty. You can eat them with sour cream or applesauce. I really liked the salty, sweetness of the applesauce and latkes.
I think I’ve found a new food tradition for my family.
