This time of year, latkes are on the brain. However, I started making them when my kids were little and I was just looking for an easy, cheap dinner. Potato pancakes and applesauce, usually with a bowl of soup, made a great favorite dinner. Of course, now I’ve been to several Hanukkah dinners and had them served with applesauce, sour cream, and –the latest addition–cinnamon and sugar. But whether you’re Jewish or not, they make a fun, easy, cheap dinner.
Potatoes will turn a greyish color if left exposed to the air, so it’s best to not peel and grate these ahead of time. If you really need to, you can peel and grate them and let them sit in cold water, but be sure to drain them extra well if you do.
