Happy Chanukah Lynne!

Awwww thank you so very much Bill, Carol, and Cindy!

This is a very quiet holiday for us this year. Mom has been very ill for a while now, and "is on her way" to quote her cardiologist. I am her primary caretaker, though I live an hour's drive away. It's just so hard ...

I really appreciate your recognizing my holiday.
We did light menorahs tonight, and my husband made yummy potato latkes for dinner.

Lynne ,, Happy you got to have a quiet celebration ... I know how hard it is to be a caretaker... seems to be our generations lot .. kids, grands and parents... and we are in the middle...
Take care and rest when you can... only and best advice I can give you...
Happy Chanukah and Happy New Year too!
Nana

Thanks so much, nana! We certainly are the "sandwich generation". We definitely were not prepared for this, as mom has several severe illnesses that none of us have had experiene with before, and she was always a very active and social person. Doing the best we can, and loving any support we can get. :ding:

Happy Chanukah, pnp........

Sorry its rough for you also.............
Ps potato lathi sounds good what is it?

Try for a good day

here is one recipe Barb:

potato LATKES

1 Egg
3 TB chopped chives (I think you could use green onion tops)
2 TB Matzo or All purpose flour
2 TB grated onion
1 TB lemon Juice
3/4 tsp salt
1/4 tsp pepper
2 & 1/2 pounds baking potato (any starchy potato)
1/2 cup Olive Oil

peel & shred potaotes.
Drain potaotes in colendar lined with paper towel. squeeze out liquid. Set aside. Mix together all other ingredients. Add drained potatoes to egg mixture.. Mix well.
In a non-stick skillet, heat up 3 TB of the oil. Drop 1/4 scant cup potato mixture into oil in pan. Flatten into 3 inch rounds. Cook 8-10 minutes on one side or intil golden. Turn & cook on other side. cook until that side is golden brown. Remove with a slotted spoon. Drain.
Serve with sour cream and applesauce.

Note: Stir mix before making each batch--add new oil with each batch also.

Carol :ding: :ding:No wonder I like it .. I make it here.
Under another name we call it potato Pancakes.....But Latkes.. sounds more dignified

Lol
Thanks .wish I make some 2 maro ..If I arent lazy..

Thanks for posting the recipe, Carol.

Dodge - they are also called potato pancakes, but we call them latkes.

Weeeeeeeeeeee
I got one right..

Us Pollocks used the method for years.. Hubby was Irish

I could never make them so they would stay together---so now I have a recipe to make them the "right" way---

Ok..........flour makes them solids.

Now we solved that one.Her is my question to you .

Did you ever eat the pizza made with potatoes on top ? Tasted like our haluski?

I want potato pizza recipe like that..
Also want the
Perogi made with the potato filling.. Has a tangy taste I love.
Anyone know???

dodge

I do not--but why not copy & paste your request & put it in the recipes thread??? perhaps someone would know???? All of that sounds good to me though....

Dodge - we do not use flour to bind the potato pancakes - we use matzoh meal, which is just matzoh ground up finely.

Happy Chanukah Lynne and Happy New Year hope the new year is better for you and your family. The Cherokees also make these of course we fry them like we do everything else. lol
