Happy Hanukkah and Yummy Latkes

Well, I started this post on Thursday night and then somehow this post disappeared.

Anyway. Here I go, round 2.

We made latkes for dinner (and chicken too) and then called Matt’s parents and sister to light the candles together. Even though Heather was in Atlanta and  his Mom and Dad are in Miami it was nice to all speak and do this together.

I briefly touched on making these latkes last year but this year when we made them I took pictures of the steps for you!!

[Printable Recipe]

Ingredients:

1 Simply Potatoes package
2 eggs
2t tbsp. flour or matzo meal (we always use flour for these)
1 tsp. salt
pepper to taste
1 small onion, grated
1/2 tsp. baking powder

 

Take 1 package of Simply Potatoes Shredded Hash Browns

Grate onion using the smallest side of the grate box. (Forgot a pic of this – DOH!)

Combine ingredients

Mix well

 

Spoon into hot oil (we used canola)

 

When edges turn golden brown flip

Fry until both sides are golden brown

Serve with sour cream (or applesauce)

 

These were the best yet. Seriously super yummy.

 

Tonight was the 6th night of Hanukkah.

This was from last night.

Tonight I also put up my pink Christmas tree. :-D

 

I love getting to celebrate both holidays!

Hope your Holiday season is wonderful!!
