It's smiling in the desperate hope that it might offset the righteous wrath of you, my faithful readers, who have been waiting anxiously for a new post. School's been eating up all my time, and I can't be cooking every night, much less blogging about it. However, I finally did get around to making some latkes out of the book, so here we go.
First off, these are really easy to make and anyone who has about an hour on their hands can make a whole bunch of them. Latkes are one of my favorite dishes, and for good reason. They're tasty and they go with everything, for example. I personally like to have them with sour cream and applesauce, but your mileage may vary.
I got the idea for latkes on Tuesday while in a fit of craving for something fried and potatoe-y. This had to wait , unfortunately, until Wednesday to be fulfilled, but it was totally worth it. I had Li over that day because we had the day off for Veterans' day, and It was a lot of fun cooking with her.
I'm not sure that I really need to post precisely what I did, seeing as how easy latkes are to make. It'd be kind of like blogging about how to make a PBJ, knowwhatimean? All that I did differently was that I shredded all the ingredients in a food processor before frying the little cakes.
The mixture looked like this when I was done with it.
Well, Li and I made about 40 of these for ourselves and my mother and stepfather. We brought out the sour cream and apple butter and conducted ourselves in the manner of sharks at a feeding frenzy. Seriously, they were good.
Brimming with anticipation.
I really recommend these to anyone who likes food. They're fun and delicious.
I'll try to update more frequently from now on , but school might get in the way. Oh well. Che sera, sera.
