Well..Koreans must be Jewish in our former lives. We make potatoe pan cake like with just the potato and pinch of salt and couple tablespoon of rice powder..why? b/c Korea Gang Won providence produce one of the best potatoes in the world!! Happy Hannukah Alison~
Dear Allison, not only do you consistently make what I love in the best possible way, you have the best video team, the most amazing editor and a closing jingle that I want to steal for my podcast.
Hey Alison, instead of squeezing the potato and onion mixture by hand, here’s a tip; put all the mixture in a tea towel and put it in a salad spinner. Whiz.. whiz… all the water cones out in seconds.
I'm not Jewish, but I absolutely love latkes lol. Luckily, growing up around a lot of Jewish friends exposed me to these delicious treats. 💛 Happy Hanukkah to you, Alison!!
My Jewish son in law makes the latkes around here. Fabulous. Never reject a leftover latke. My Episcopalian next day breakfast: Recrisp those babies in a dry iron skillet, top with full fat skyr yogurt and a slice of homemade gravlax and extra dill. At 11am, a Bloody Mary is the best companion.
It’s the fact that Alison has been continuing the measuring the-water-and-starch-from-the-potatoes game from NYT Cooking video to now this video is sending me outttt!
Latkes - oh YUM. Potatoes, onions, savory, fried crisp. Definitely making this asap. Haven't before, but love {grated} hash brown potatoes, especially with cheese and green Chile, so going to try latkes that way, AND the 2 traditional ways Alison suggests.
R G, how was your Thanksgiving party? I hope everything worked out for you and the dinner was delicious! Now, on to a Latke party!! It gets easier every year!! Enjoy...
I definitely had a chuckle, so thanks for that! Your "David" or producers/editors did a funny thing with the grating and timer situation. Bravo guys. And Bravo to Alison as always for entertaining us in the most natural way!
Hi Alison, I made this for mothers day and everyone loved it. Had no chicken fat but it was still so delicious- looking forward to making many more in the future!! Thank you for always being amazing.
I love this channel...love it! The editing is so fun, everything is fun, you and your team do such a great job and to top it off I learn a lot about cooking. I'm not Jewish but Latke's look good!
Well, you have the essential elements here perfectly presented: exquisite food to make us happy and the vodka to medicate us during these insanely challenging times & lastly videos delightfully presented.
I'm polish and these are called potatoe pancakes and we used to make them quite regularly. My mum makes them on the smallest eye greater. It's really good too.
Interesting comment! I'm marrying a Jewish guy and whenever he says something is "Jew food" I'm constantly confused.🤣 Then we argue (did Jews invent boiling a chicken?). My point is there are so many common dishes because Jews were nomadic and because of Kosher law, things they ate often, they became known for. In the end, we agree we are all people that just want to eat good food!🤗
Alison Roman you are by far the best!!! ❤️️ ❤️️ ❤️️ Loved the video and the latkes I made for the first time turned out amazing thanks to you! You and your team are quite funny and entertaining! Happy Hanukah! If you get a chance would love the apple sauce recipe! ❤️️ You are invited to Minnesota anytime!
Happy Hanukkah! Lucky enough to have grown up in Montreal, home of smoked meat, skinny bagels, and chalet BBQ chicken. And lacy latkes with sour cream, salt and pepper!!
I LOVE ur home movies!! I just found the latkes one six months late (or early depending on ur perspective) I am a Sephardic Jew and we call our latkes “edjeh”. They are made the same exact way. Believe it or not we will stuff a pita with edjeh and eat it like a sandwich. (I know it’s a double starch) but that’s how we eat them even on Hanukkah
Hi Alison. I’m checking out your channel after reading the New Yorker profile. Full confession, I didn’t know who u were until today. I have never met another person who ate chix bouillon as a kid. I also liked the beef bouillon cubes. Here’s to salt. I look forward to watching your channel in 2022.
I’m half Jewish and grew up celebrating both holidays, but realized very quickly that only one celebration included latkes…and very quickly identified a favorite holiday. 😉 (Also, this video really makes me miss Russ and Daughters…)
You were ALMOST right about that scream line! Yes, “what’s your favorite scary movie” is the iconic line, and “wanna play a game” is definitely Saws, but in scream right before Drew’s boyfriend gets killed maskface tells her “I want to play a game” and he makes her guess scary movie answers. Lol so you knew what you were talking about!
My mum is indian and they have a very similar kind of food to this, but I'm not sure what they're called. It's really cool to see different cultures have interpretations of the 'same' kind of base recipe and ingredients.
Can you guys believe I bought the potato peeler literally 20 years ago in Kirkland,WA? Sur la Table was the store.. I have brought it back with me to Europe...still use it almost every day...it's just like a bought it yesterday
hi, alison, long time viewer first time caller. you were right re: scream. they do play a game. killer asks horror movie trivia questions, which drew answers in the hope of saving her boyfriend's life (she fails). then, ultimately, game switches to "what door am I standing at," which drew answers in the hope of surviving herself (she fails). thanks for the latkes!
I watch every video I can find where you're cooking or baking. I love you! PS: I DO have to turn down the speed since I'm a Southerner, and you talk faster than my ears can process.
Im telling you right now I have no religious affiliation with latkes I only discovered them when Jenna & Julian talked about them and now I make them every other month or so 😭 topping them with sour cream and applesauce >>> also since I dont have a baby in my house I nearly never have applesauce on hand so whenever I end up making latkes I tend to make homemade cider and applesauce which is always soooo goooooood
The box grater was a psychological terror. But it was over without blood shed and I breathed a sigh of relief, and would never doubt you again. So when you cut yourself on the onion I screamed and threw my phone down. I can’t.
I struggle watching videos featuring box grater action as I always feel like we are milliseconds away from a box grater injury. In both the NYT Passover video and this one the injury has HAPPENED and it is not assisting with my trauma.
