Every Hanukkah I look forward to eating potato latkes. Here is an authentic latke recipe straight from a Jewish mother.
Step 1: Ingredients
5 potatoes
1 onion
1 carrot
2 eggs
1/4 cup matzah meal
salt and pepper
Oil (for frying latkes)
Step 2: Prepare Vegetables
Wash, peel and grate the potatoes, onion, and carrot. Put grated vegetables in a large bowl and mix.
Step 3: Make Latke Mixture
Beat eggs and add them to the potatoes, onion and carrot. Add the matzah meal and mix well.
Step 4: Frying Latkes
Put oil in a skillet (enough to fry latkes). Heat oil and then put latke mixture by 1/4 to 1/2 cup into the pan. Cook on both sides until mixture is cooked. Place on plate and paper towel to cool off.

How does this taste like?? Interested in trying it out. What would you make with a side dish or something with this?

They taste a lot like hash browns if you've had those. If not, just make them! They are delicious and easy (obviously)!

Oh, now I want some with applesauce. That is the best. Almost makes me want to run to the grocery for eggs!

Applesauce makes a great dipping sauce...but you should try them with some sour cream! It really sets them off into a different dimension. Gotta try this recipe, looks great!

Bless you,
Fry in schmaltz if your arteries can take it. It's really good.
