ok, so andrew is home for the weekend....and thus i got up yesterday and made one of the family favorites as part of his breakfast.....white and sweet potato latkes.......the original rendering of potato pancakes was with the white potato......those who celebrate certain jewish holidays serve latkes as part of the feast......i started making them after offering a kids around-the-world cooking class way back when...sometimes with onion and sometimes without...and so loved the variation from frenchfry crisp that i take the time to make them whenever i have time to indulge myself and certainly when there is an appreciative audience.......the addition of sweet potato and has taken hold in the past year or so.....and far exceeds the original version in flavor and semblance of wholesomeness......with the beta carotene even my spouse feels compelled to eat this fried delectable......add a dollop of sour cream and snipped chives if i am really in a good mood or it is not raining (the chives require a trip across wet grass...)this entire explanation leads up to a product i read about in the nytimes this morning...in a big piece on holiday treats that may bepurchased online.....RUTHIE & GUSSIE'S means no more graters, and thus no more scraped fingers, for those who want traditional batter for potato pancakes (latkes to those who want them for Hanukkah). For thinner pancakes, add water to the batter. They fry up golden brown with just the right amount of onion. A 28-ounce container - a remarkable bargain - is $5.49; ruthieandgussies.com, (877) 452-8537. Dec. 21.......
wow!!!the thumb on my right hand is missing a bit of flesh at ther knuckle as we speak.......latkes are not without the potential for great pain......
