nonstick skillet over medium-high
heat (the oil has to be hot enough so
that the potato mixture sizzles right
away).
Make a test latke: Drop the
batter into the hot oil with a
large tablespoon (pour the
batter from the tip of the
spoon, not the side of the
spoon, for better shaped
latkes). Fry until the
edges are golden, using
a slotted turner to turn the
latke onto the other side to
cook. Cook until golden. Transfer
the cooked latke to the prepared
baking sheet. Taste for consistency
and seasonings. If needed, add more
matzah meal to thicken the batter
and more salt and pepper.
Cook the latkes as above (but do
not crowd the pan with too many
latkes, or they will not cook evenly).
Serve the latkes hot, with apple-
sauce (see recipe below).
To make ahead, cook through,
and arrange on a baking sheet
to reheat at 300 degrees for 10
minutes.

Makes 8 or more servings.

PERFECT LATKES
(TRADITIONAL)

2 lbs. Idaho or russet potatoes,
peeled or unpeeled
1 cup chopped yellow onions
2 eggs
3 Tbsp. flour (more if needed)
kosher salt and pepper to taste
vegetable oil for frying

Make latkes: Coarsely grate
potatoes by hand (with a box
grater), or cut into 1-inch chunks
and grate them in the food
processor (fine shred). Transfer
the potatoes to a colander, place it
in the sink and allow the shredded
potatoes to sit until they turn
reddish-brown, about half an hour.
Rinse the shredded potatoes well
with cold water until the potatoes
are nearly white again. If the strands
of potato are too long (as sometimes
happens with a food processor),
chop them slightly.
In a large bowl, combine the
potatoes, onions, eggs, flour, salt
and pepper. Mix, and let stand for
10 minutes before frying.
In a large skillet, heat'/8-inch of
oil until very hot but not smoking.
Make a test latke by dropping a
heaping Tbsp. of the potato mixture

into the skillet. Using a spoon or
spatula, form the mixture into a
circle shape. Don't worry if your
latke is not a perfect circle. Cook
3 minutes or so on each side until
the latkes are golden and cooked
through. (Note: As
latke batter sits,
it becomes more
watery:' Stir
each time before
you use the batter.)
Drain the latke
well on paper towels or on
flattened paper grocery bags
placed over baking sheets. Taste for
seasoning, adjust salt and pepper
and make the remaining latkes until
the potato mixture is gone. If you
must add more oil, do it when the
skillet it empty. Never pour new oil
onto cooking latkes; it makes them
greasy. Serve with lots of applesauce
or sour cream.

Note: If you peel your apples first,
you can mash the apples with a fork
for a chunkier applesauce. With the
peel, you must process the applesauce
so that the peel will "clisappear."

Combine all ingredients in a large
microwave-safe bowl. Cover the
bowl with a lid or plastic wrap, and
cook on high heat for 10 minutes. If
the apples are soft, let stand about
10 minutes before mashing with a
fork or processing until smooth. If
the apples need more cooking, cook
at 2-minute intervals until soft.
