Recipe Introduction
"One food that has become closely associated with the Hanukkah celebration is the potato pancake-- called latke in Yiddish."
List of Ingredients
1 large celery root (about 3/4 pound)
2 medium potatoes (about 3/4 pound)
3 tablespoons olive oil
2 beaten eggs
2 cloves garlic, finely minced
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons cooking oil
Sour cream or applesauceRecipe
Peel and finely shred celery root and potatoes together into a large mixing bowl. Stir in olive oil, eggs, garlic, and salt. Using 1/3 cup mixture for each latke, press mixture into patties about the size of the palm of your hand, squeezing out excess liquid.
In a large skillet heat oil over medium-high heat. Carefully slide patties into hot oil. Cook over medium-high heat about 2 minutes or until latkes are golden brown, turning once.
Repeat with remaining batter. Add additional oil during cooking, as needed. If necessary, reduce heat to medium to prevent over-browning. Drain on paper towels and keep warm. Serve with sour cream or applesauce, if desired.
