potatoes

Latkes, the Yiddish word for potato pancakes, are traditionally eaten by Ashkenazic Jews on Hanukkah. You can find latkes at just about any Jewish deli in the city. Whether you accompany them with applesauce or vegan sour cream, be sure to serve them fresh out of the skillet as they really should be eaten immediately after frying.

This recipe makes the best crispy roasted potatoes we have ever had. Usually roasted potatoes are somewhat mushy and are not crispy at all. These potatoes are as crispy as french fries on the outside and soft in the middle.
