    I have made potato pancakes (latkes - for Hanukkah) for 55 years. This recipe and Thomas Joseph's techniques, resulted in the absolute best I have ever made. They were very crispy, and delightfully creamy and soft on the inside. They stayed white rather than turning brownish, which was always a problem. I followed the recipe exactly, using every suggestion. Most helpful was soaking the shredded potatoes in ice water and squeezing out the liquid. Putting the cooked latkes on a rack in a 200 degree oven worked very well and kept them crispy while the rest of the latkes were fried. My guests loved them and came back for seconds and thirds!
    My only adjustment was to use only two teaspoons of salt, which was more than enough. I also added black pepper.
    Thank you Joseph!!!

    I made this today and though I used 7up instead of beer, it still turned out great. We make this a lot in the Philippines but more often we use grated cassava with just a little salt then when cooked we sprinkle sugar on top. It is a typical snack. Thanks for your recipe.

    I made latkes two nights ago with dill sour cream on one and applesauce on the other. Last night I decided to make different root latkes: purple turnip, parsnip, and then potato/turnip, and potato/parsnip mix. The applesauce made the turnip one so yummy

    I love that gummy texture in the middle. I have been looking for how to make this kind of latke. They were made by my ex husband's grandma, and she used only finely grated potato and salt. The inside did turn brown but was amazingly delicious, with apple sauce and sour cream. Took forever to grate them by hand but well worth it. Yummy. Not sure if she used a little flour too or not.

      @leonardpearlman4017 Рік тому

      I think there's a little confusion here! You can soak them to get rid of whatever it is that turns brown! A lot of people keep that starch and add it back, and/or put flour as well. You need something to stick it all together and make a pancake! The most elementary potato pancakes are made from just the starch and the grated potato pulp, maybe salt.

      It’s similar to using some pasta (boiling) water, and adding it to your sauce when marrying the pasta with the sauce, to thicken it and bind it together.

    • @NeverMind353
      @NeverMind353 3 роки тому

      I was wondering the same, similar deal with the water. "We want to squeeze out the water" -> reintroduces water using beer. But it's probably about control. You want to remove it all first, then only add what you want. Still, I would omit the beer.

      Applesauce is fine - sour cream is the usual in a Jewish household because the entire meal is latkes -- nothing else. When eating a meat meal for Chanukah, no dairy is permitted IF the people are kosher. A solo latkes meal is the dairy meal for the 8 days. I love my latkes cold with a bit of sugar, too.
