Latkes Latkes Everywhere!
So in honor of Hannukah today, we made latkes at work. 40 latkes. That's a lot. Now, I am making more latkes for dinner tonight. And this weekend, I will be working Latkapalooza where we will have, you guessed it, MORE LATKES! Pretty sure I will be latked out by Sunday night 
My Boys!
Re: Latkes Latkes Everywhere!
Well, I did baked latkes this afternoon. Good, but took a long time! For dinner, I made Cooking Light's Jalapeno-Cilantro latkes which were super super yummy!
The only problem with making latkes is the oil, which is kind of necessary and a part of the whole "Hannukah" thing. But, I seriously smell like fried potatoes right now!
I just made some last week with Jullienned potatoes fried in peanut oil. Those were AMAZING!
It was roughly
1 cup flour
3 large eggs
salt and pepper
five large russet potatoes peeled and jullienned
one large yellow onion diced
Then fried in peanut oil
Mmmmm I can never have enough latkes
Thanks, that's helpful. I can't believe i went to the grocery store yesterday and forgot to get potatoes! But in any case, I don't think we have peanut oil either so I will have to make a quick stop there.
How much oil? is it like "fill a high sided pan and make a puddle" type of thing?Or more like regular pancakes where you just have to get the pan nice and greasy?
Yes I grew up with this stuff but I barely can remember it.
I saw that too.
Also, my recent edition of Cooking Light has tons of different latkes recipes I want to try.

YUMMMM. I could never get enough of fried potatoes
Must be the Jewish genes.
@Amy - I have a decent recipe for plain ol' potato latkes at home if you want me to email it to you. I'm still trying to perfect it but it's a good basic one.
yes, please, that would be good! and I don't think fried potatoes are exclusive to Jews, we got French fries, potato chips, hash browns, tater tots, and home fries.And I'm probably missing something. Must be universal!
