POTATO LATKES
Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
2 pounds potatoes
2 large eggs
Salt
Oil for frying
Peel and finely grate the potatoes. Put them straight into cold
water, then
drain and squeeze them as dry as you can by pressing them with your
hands
in a colander. This is to remove the starchy liquid, which could make
the
latkes soggy.
Beat the eggs lightly with salt, add to the potatoes, and stir well.
Film
the bottom of a frying pan with oil and heat. Take serving-spoonfuls,
or as
much as 1/4 cup, of the mixture, and drop into the hot oil. Flatten a
little, and lower the heat so that the fritters cook through evenly.
When
one side is brown, turn over and brown the other. Lift out and serve
very
hot.
Yield: 6 serving

Is a latke a hash brown?
Latkes frequently include onions, eggs and matzah meal (or sometimes just flour). I frequently add carrots to my latke recipes. I have never heard of hash browns including carrots. Also, latkes are generally fried in vegetable oil. Hash browns may include onions, but the only other ingredient I have heard of is added potato starch as a binder, not eggs. In addition, hash browns are frequently fried in bacon grease, which is definitely not acceptable for latkes.
How do you spell latke that means to be a helper?
The word is spelled "lackey" and has the connotation of a servile inferior, rather than a valued helper. A similar word is minion.
What are latkes?
Latkes are potato pancakes prepared for Hanukkah, a Jewish holiday that in addition to other things, celebrates the 'miracle of light'. This refers to the fact that after the Maccabee Jews defeated the Greek Syrians and came back to light the Menora of the Temple in Jerusalem, there was no more pure olive oil to be found, except for a small amount that ended up miraculously lasting for eight days (until more could be found/processed). Because oil is part of the miracle, oily foods tend to be eaten as a symbol. Latkes are thus potato pancakes made with oil. Latkes are potato pancakes, often served as part of the Jewish Hannukah celebration. Some people like them with sour cream, but I prefer mine with a little butter and applesauce. Latke is a Yiddish word that means pancake. During Channukah, most people eat potato latkes but personally, my favourite are wild rice and mushroom latkes.
