tow tol'e appy Chan Common Cents by Sharon Stein YOU DON'T HAVE TO GRATE FOR YOUR LATKES TO BE GREAT I remember when grating potatoes was the only way to make latkes. Fortunately for us potato pancake lovers, we now have many options that replace the grater. I am sure that there are some cooks that still grate and feel that no other way tastes the same. For those of you that are more open minded you may try food processors, blenders and my favorite (the one I feel is closest in texture to those grated for genera- tions) the meat grinder. I have a hand grinder but if you have the electric variety so much the better. Put your onions cut in quarters and potatoes through the meat grinder at the same time so that the onions will not slide. • Regular • Unsalted „ a► g , 1- d011 1 ► •12" 4q110.11ill ► itut POTATO PANCAKE Another latke tip is to separate your eggs and beat the whites until stiff, this makes for lighter latkes. I was going to print my recipe for potato pancakes, however I realized it was one of those that consisted of a bit of that and pinch of this, after all potatoes are all not the same size and neither are onions. I am sure that no matter what recipe you use, your latkes will be great. Have a Happy Chanuka.
