Potato Latkes
As for most traditional foods, there are many recipes for Potato Latkes, which can be eaten at any time, but are especially associated with Chanuka. I give the way I make them, which is probably the simplest.

Ingedients

 * Potatoes, preferably thin skinned.
 * Onions, about 1/3 as much, by bulk, as potatoes.
 * Salt to taste
 * Flour for thickening
 * Oil for frying

Instructions

 * 1) Finely grate the potatoes and onions, you will get a very watery batter. You can use a food processor.
 * 2) Add salt to taste.
 * 3) Thicken with flour, so that the batter holds together when frying.
 * 4) Heat oil in frying pan.
 * 5) Using a large cooking spoon, drop spoonfulls of batter into hot oil, adding more flour to the batter if necessary. The latkes should be about 3 or 4 inches long by 1-1/2 to 2 inches wide.
 * 6) Fry on each side until latke is thoroughly brown.

Serving
Serve hot, with applesauce or sour cream, to taste.
