Classic Hanukkah Favorite-Easy Potato Latkes
December 14, 2009
My dad has been making Potato Latkes on Hanukkah since I can remember. Now, we always celebrate with my family at my sister, Natalie’s house. My brother-in-law, Eric and my dad make the latkes together. It’s always a fun night, especially for the kids. We are celebrating it this weekend for the last night of Hanukkah. We tried this recipe at home last night, and it came out great! I was testing Cashew Chicken for Clean Eating magazine, and we served it with these Potato Latkes, kinda funny how things work at my house–the life of a Recipe Developer.
