Latkes<\/p>\n\n\n\n


One of my\u00a0earliest\u00a0childhood\u00a0memories was of the smell of hot latkes bubbling away on
the stove at my grandmothers, My Grandmother (affectionally known as Bubba) had no
food processor, everything was handmade,\u00a0freshly cooked and served to a delighted
group of loving and hungry grandchildren. \u00a0My job as the eldest grandchild was to peel &
grate the potatoes. (by hand)
Here is her\u00a0recipe\u00a0 \u00a0to serve 4 hungry grandchildren
Ingredients
1 kilo potatoes, peeled
2 large onions peeled and grated
1 large egg checked & beaten\u00a0
25 grams \/ 1 oz\/ 1-2 table spoons fine matzo meal.(you can use Gluten free flour flour)
1 -2 Teaspoons salt.
\u00bd teaspoon black pepper
\u00bc teaspoon baking powder
Plus, spare salt for sprinkling
\u00bd Litre Vegetable\u00a0oil for frying<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Method<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  1. Peel the potatoes and put them in cold water for at least 10 minutes.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. Peel and grate the onion, place in large bowl.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  3. Grate the potatoes, squeeze out excess liquid, Grandma used a medium blade on
    a hand grater\u00a0you can use a food processor on a medium grating blade, butt
    Bubbah would say that\u2019s cheating!<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  4. Put the oil on into a large frying pan and heat till medium.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  5. mix the grated\u00a0potatoes\u00a0& onion with the egg, salt, pepper, baking powder and
    matzo meal or gluten free flour l mix well.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  6. Spoon the latke mix into the oil, making sure they have room to spread (normally
    we would do one trial one that was cooks perks !!)<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  7. Fry the latkes 4-5 minutes each side. They need to be golden brown, but the potato
    needs to be cooked inside.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  8. \u00a0Lift out the latkes onto kitchen paper to drain, then sprinkle a little salt on top and
    serve.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    This recipe is a tribute to my grandmother, who spread light to everyone she met. It is
    the tradition of Hanukkah filled with and the memory of times gone by, to be handed
    down to the future generations with love.
    May this Hannukah bring light to the darkness of the world, and be filled with miracles,
    peace, freedom and love.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
