Potato latkes.

My children, Riva & Sam, frying latkes.

Hanukkah is now over. And Christmas is finished, too. But it’s never a wrong time to learn to make my award-winning potato latkes (that’s potato pancakes, for those not in the tribe). All right, they haven’t actually won any awards, but my family loves them, I love them, and they have won tons of accolades from family and friends. And that’s all that matters. To me.
