Directions
Latkes With Chutzpah,There is something special about Jewish cooking for Jewish people. The extremely high quality of the kosher ingredients combined with the deliciously unique flavours inherent in this hearty, wholesome food, is so delightfully unlike fancy sauces of French and Italian fare, that the Jewish diner feels at home. I am fortunate to have inherited a book by Pauline Frankel, (from my mother, GRHS) called simply “The Jewish Cookbook”. My mother loved this little book, because of its simplicity. While I do not profess to know much about Jewish/Kosher cooking, I happily defer to Pauline Frankel’s book, again, because of its simplicity. (Jews and Gentiles alike know about Latkes…. but do you know about “Latkes with Chutzpah”?) It has been pointed out to me recently that this recipe is by no means one of Kosher value, because the inclusion of “Chicken Fat”, a meat product, and “served with sour cream”. The combination of meat product and dairy product is not Kosher. Thank you all who were interested enough to point this out…. Changes have been made; you may now enjoy… No questions, please, remember, I am a gentle Gentile.,Alot of ingredients in this! Very artery clogging. The texture was very soggy. If one squeezes out the moisture from the grated potato and onion mixture, the texture of the finished product dramatically improves. I like to use matzah meal instead of flour, skip the B.P., pepper and extra yolk and fry in canola oil. Perhaps not the same chutzpah as yours but still mighty kosher and heart healthy, that is until you add the rather large dollop of sour cream! LOL! Thanks for a different spin on traditional latkes Toolie.,Alot of ingredients in this! Very artery clogging. The texture was very soggy.
