Latke Cookery
First off, I know this isn’t a cooking blog but I need to post this. I NEED to!
Over the years, I have become a latke maker. And not just for Hanukkah. My family likes to eat them once a week.

Maybe like two teaspoons.

Usually, I use a fish spatula and a fork to flip.
Here’s the end result:
I mean, come on!
Here’s a great recipe (without baking powder… add the baking powder!)
