Semi-Traditional Potato Latkes By Way of WOW
« Reply #-1 on: January 25, 2014, 02:26:01 PM »
Last week we made a traditional German potato pancake, so this week we tried a traditional latke recipe except we had no matza meal. In it's place we put panko, and to put a twist on this recipe, I added 1 & 1/2 tsp of Way Out West. They came out mighty tasty and next time I'll bump the WOW up to 2- 2 1/2 tsp. Still no apple sauce so apple butter did the trick with nary a bad remark!

Tim, I got to thinking, ( scary, I know) were the real traditional latkes fried in schmaltz?

Don, I made these using a food processor for the first time. Always hand grated before, I'm old school, but this way takes 2 minutes if your ingredients are pre-gathered. So....I'll probably be having latkes more often!

 It may surprise folks , that many cultures have a  potato "pancake" in their culinary arsenal.

Very true Tim, the Irish were not the only ethnic group kept afloat with potatoes! Just about every European region has some form of a potato dish resembling the latke.
