For many years in this coun-
try it has become a happy cus-
tom to arrange Hanukah Latkes
Parties, especially for the chil-
dren. "Latkes" are a Hanukah
tradition from ages past, even
though the grated potato vari-
ety is of fairly recent origin.
Potatoes were not yet discovered
in the days of the Maccabees!
But potato "latkes," "kugelach"
or "kugel squares" are "tradi-
tional" in our own day, and
what a toothsome treat! Below
are recipes for your guidance;
so have a Happy and Merry
Hanukah.
* * *
HANUKAH LATKES
(Basic recipe—multiply as required)
1 cup grated raw potato, mea-
sured after squeezing out li-
quid)
1 egg beaten with i;43 teaspoon
salt
1 teaspoon grated onion (.or
teaspoon onion salt)
3 to 4 tablespoons flour
1 tablespoon grated raw carrot,
optional
Vegetable shortening or oil for
deep frying as below
Combine grated, squeezed po-
tato, egg, grated onion, flour and
carrot by mixing thoroughly in
a bowl. The mixture should be
of a consistency thick enough to
drop from a tablespoon without
too rapid spreading. Some pota-
toes are more "watery" than
others, so add flour if neces-
sary. Heat vegetable shortening
or oil in a heavy frying pan and
drop the batter by tablespoons-
fu1 into the hot fat so that the
pancakes will be almost covered
when the pan is filled without
crowding. Let fry over moderate
heat until nicely browned be-
fore turning to brown the other
side of each pancake. These
"latkes" puff up during the fry-
ing and remain "light" in tex-
ture if properly fried. Lift out
when browned and drain well
on paper towels. Keep "latkes"
warm while preparing double,
triple or quadruple recipe, but
be sure to use the above pro-
portions for good results. When
making large quantities,
"Latkes" can be kept warm in
the oven at 350 deg. F., oven
door open to prevent drying out.
This recipe yields 6 to 7, aver-
age portion for 2 servings.
Serve with applesauce, cran-
berry sauce, sourcream and cot-
tage cheese, or a compote of
mixed dried fruits. Good with
pot-roast gravy, just in case you
want some for the main meal.

try accompaniment. Remove pa-

3 eggs
2 cups sifted all-purpose flour

bination)
1 1, teaspoons vanilla or almond
flavoring
Cream sugar with shortening.
Add one egg at a time while
beating till creamy and smooth.

the batter. Bake about 15 min-
utes at 325 deg. F. or till lightly
