Hanukkah snuck up on all of us this year.Just as we finished the very end of our Thanksgiving leftovers last week, it's time to—yet again—stuff ourselves silly. And to kick off eight delicious nights, nothing is better than mastering the art of crispy potato latkes.
That's where these easy-as-hell latkes come in. The crew from Mile End Deli in New York City want you to throw soggy latkes to the wind and embrace this classic recipe as part of your new family tradition. And these latkes are as straightforward as they come; no fancy potato varieties, sweet potato substitutions, or funny business included. The results will provide a nice golden brown, crispy-edged latke that has a hash brown-like texture. Serve with a dollop of crème fraîche, or throw tradition to the wind and drizzle with sriracha. Tonight is a night for celebration, and that means you can eat all of the latkes you want.RECIPE: Potato Latkes
