Since we moved to the U.S., Hanukkah has been my favorite holiday, mostly because of the festive feeling at this time of year. During the last weekend, my son and I decorated the house for Hanukkah. We put menorah and dreidel stickers on the windows and hung some home-made artwork that has accumulated over the years. Even though Hanukkah is still about two weeks away, it’s time to get into the spirit.
Hanukkah won’t be complete without a latke or two or maybe more….. .
Ingredients
6 eggs
1 tablespoon baking powder
½ medium red onion, diced (about ½ a cup)
1 lb potatoes, peeled and shredded (use a food processor)
½ cup Matzo Meal
1 teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon ground black pepper
2/3 cup extra virgin olive oil
1. Preheat oven to 350̊ F
2. Whisk the eggs in a bowl, add baking powder and whisk until well blended.
3. Combine onion, potatoes, and Matzo Meal in a second bowl. Add the egg mixture and stir to blend well. Season with the salt and pepper.
4. Add olive oil in a large skillet on medium-high.
5. Scoop potato mixture by rounded half-cup measures onto skillet, flatten with spatula.
6. Cook the latkes for 3 minutes until each side is brown.
7. Transfer the cooked latkes to baking sheet and bake on center rack for 10 minutes.
8. Transfer to a paper towel to absorb excess fat.
Enjoy it while it warm!
Happy Hanukkah,
Hava & Dorit
