RECIPE
Latkes With A Twist
The traditional way to make latkes is to sizzle them in a lot of oil—sometimes a whole cup! Though I’m a fan of healthy fats, deep frying in oil is something we can all do without. But we are using some oil, so they will still have the crisp memories of deliciousness a good latke is made of. And most recipes call for putting in some muscle using a box grater, but my food processor easily does the trick. Just be sure to squeeze out all the liquid from the potatoes— this makes them crispy! Top with crème fraiche instead of sour cream and my spiced apple chutney instead of applesauce, and you’ll know why I call them latkes with a twist!

Holiday time means traditions in many families, and latkes are a fun Chanukah dish. In fact, I channeled both of my grandmothers as I wrote these recipes.
