NYCNOSH's MIND-BLOWING
HOMEMADE LATKE RECIPE
2 3/4 lbs. peeled white potatoes
1 lg onion
2 eggs, well beaten
1.5 Tbs matzoh meal
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp black pepper
Take half of the peeled potatoes and cut them into one-inch chunks.
Boil the cut up potatoes in salted water until tender - about 20 minutes.
Drain, and then run the boiled potatoes through a food processor until smooth.
Sprinkle matzoh meal on top of puree.
Shred the onion and remaining peeled potatoes into a large bowl and toss until well mixed.
Place shredded vegetables into a piece of cheesecloth and twist until all the liquid has been extracted from the mixture.
Put the squeezed vegetables into a large bowl and then thoroughly mix in the beaten eggs, and salt and pepper.
Add the puréed potatoes and mix together to form a batter.
Heat 1/4-1/2" inch of corn oil in a pan (don't use olive oil!) to med-high.
Form palm-sized patties about 1/2-3/4" high.
Fry each patty on one side for about 5 min, then fry on the other side for 2 min. or until a dark golden brown.
If the patties darken too quickly, or become dark brown, your oil is too hot.
Serve with applesauce and sour cream. Makes about 10 latkes.
ENJOY! | |
Paul D. asks: What is your most memorable moment from the recent Sid N Susie tour? All of the shows were fun and interesting - the atmosphere was relaxed and spontaneous, like a concert in your living room.
It's hard to pick a most memorable moment from the tour, but I would say listening and dancing to Leonard Bernstein's West Side Story music in the dressing room has been massively enjoyable - spontaneous improvisational dance/choreography has become a popular dressing room activity for me on the Sid and Susie tours...
...Matthew would like to incorporate the dance moves into our act at some point soon. ;)

Nancy M. asks: What the heck are you using as a facial regimen? Please tell because whatever it is, it is working!!!
It changes all the time as I am always experimenting with new products, but over the years some of my tried and true basics are: Neutrogena Oil Free Moisture for Sensitive Skin (with SPF 15 for day), Clinique Repairwear Intensive Eye Cream, and Cetaphil Gentle Skin Cleanser Eye Contour Gel (only when I really need it!)
...And a couple of new favorites are from my friend Lisa Hoffman's skin care line - Vitamin A and C Serum for night, and Day Cream SPF for day. |
Jorn K. asks: What's at the top of your Dear Santa wishlist? To me the perfect gift is not material... It is spending time with the people I love!
