One of the traditional foods of Hanukkah is latkes where the oil used for frying also symbolizes the oil that lasted eight days.<\/p>\n<p>Here my friend Tina demonstrates how to make latkes and gives us a few tips to ensure perfect crispy latkes.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/y3Mfc1C1Bl8?rel=0\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>Last year I joined Tina, her mother-in-law Celia, and her daughter Diana and watched and learned as she prepared latkes for the second night of Hanukkah. Her son Jason helped peel the potatoes and Tina gave me some valuable tips on making the perfect latke: \u00a0crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. \u00a0She uses a recipe that she copied from a December 1999 L.A. Times article as a guideline, since she only makes latkes once a year it&#8217;s easy to forget the importance of certain details such as:<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\">1. It&#8217;s OK to use a food processor to chop all the onions, but the potatoes must be grated by hand &#8211; using a food processor results in gummy potatoes.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\">2. Dry the grated potatoes on paper towels or a clean dish towel. Cover and press with paper towels also.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\">3. Only peanut oil imparts the desired flavor.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\">4. Don&#8217;t use a non-stick pan &#8211; you won&#8217;t get the desired crispiness.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Having lived in California for 28 years with no family at all to celebrate holidays with, I firmly believe in the importance of creating your own family traditions. But I also find comfort in the past and feel that, especially these days, with family members often scattered far and wide, sharing memories from your childhood and preserving time-worn rituals beyond gift giving can provide your children with a deeper understanding and appreciation for the meaning behind religious and non-religious holidays. Food is always a significant part of any celebration and simple experiences like baking cookies, preparing tamales, or helping mom make latkes are priceless.<\/p>\n<p>Many cooks are experimenting with using different vegetables and oils in their search for a different or healthier latke, a recent Los Angeles Times article had some good suggestions.<\/p>\n<p>I decided to make <span style=\"color: #993300;\"><strong>sweet potato latkes <\/strong><\/span>because I&#8217;ve been on a bit of sweet potato kick. They&#8217;re so nutritious, chock full of antioxidants and beta carotene, and can be prepared in as many ways as regular potatoes: fries, roasted, mashed, au gratin, hash, salad, etc. So why not in latkes!<br \/> <a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/shescookin.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/12\/Sweet-Potato-Latkes-7202.jpg?ssl=1\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-14443 size-full\"
