Weekend Cook and Tell Round Up: Festival of Latkes
For last week's Hannukah-inspired Weekend Cook and Tell we asked all of you to break out the potatoes and box graters for a challenge we called Festival of Latkes. We still have a few more nights of menorah lighting left to enjoy some potato pancakes, so let's take a look at some of our favorite latkes.The Best Potatoes for Latkes
Russet vs. Yukon Gold: Does it really matter? Russet potato. [Flickr: sea turtle] [Photograph: kitchenhacker.net] Po-tate-oh, po-tot-oh? Or do you believe certain types of potatoes make better latkes than others? According to kitchenhacker.net, between Russet and Yukon Gold, it all came down to nostalgia: The Yukon Gold had a bit more of a yellow color to them, but other than that I couldn't really tell them apart by sight. I am generally a fan of Yukon Gold potatoes, but I was worried that they wouldn't fry up as nicely as the Russets (of which I am less of a fan). The consistency of the two latkes, though, was remarkably similar. They each had a crispy browned outside and a creamy...Mixed Review: Manischewitz and Gefen Potato Latkes
"No self-respecting bubbe would be caught dead with a store-bought latke mix." Manischewitz (left), homemade (center), Gefen (right). [Photographs: Lucy Baker] I think we can all agree that boxed mixes for latkes are completely unnecessary. If you can't grate a couple of potatoes and an onion, beat in an egg, add a few tablespoons of flour (or matzo meal), and fry the mixture in a skillet, then you don't have much business being in the kitchen. But latke mixes do exist, and each year around Hanukkah they begin to pop up on grocery store shelves alongside bottles of sweet Kedem wine and mesh bags of chocolate gelt. Last weekend I made a trip out to a kosher grocery store on...Serious Sandwiches: Junior's Latke Sandwich
Well, today is the last day of Hanukkah. The eighth and final candle was lighted last night, and the only question that remains is what to do with any leftover latkes. To solve this one, I will go back to my time-tested formula. Item of leftovers + the word sandwich + exclamation point = delicious treat. Put this one through the machine, and voila: latke sandwich!...Latke Larry Dancing Doll

There were 14 Levines at our pre-Hanukkah party. My family likes to talk (a lot), so I'm sure the din could be heard up and down West End Avenue. As I wrote yesterday, I couldn't find a brisket for us to cook, so I came up with an alternate revisionist Hanukkah menu. I decided to to utilize latkes three ways:...For Hanukkah, Latkes
