Happy Hannukah! :)
Same here - with maybe a smidgeon of sour cream on the side for the occasional dunk!

Posted: 12/7/04 at 9:17pmOMG I love the latkes my parents make!!! They are the best. I just got back from the candle lighting on campus and they had those gross frozen hashbrown latkes and jelly donuts that were really hard. They gave me a menorah though which i just brought back and lit. Its my first Hanukkah away from my family and I miss them alot. I just got off the phone with them and they are making latkes right now mmmm i wish i was there. I cant wait to go home on Saturday and have lotta latkes.! HAPPY HANUKKAH ALL!

There's such a thing as frozen latkes? Ew.
I prefer sour cream to apple sauce, but unfortunately I won't be getting any latkes this year until the last night of Chanukah. Finals and all that.

Posted: 12/7/04 at 9:27pmI have already overdosed on latkes this year... we have them at our religious school (I work there) every day, and so I have had them yesterday and today all day, with more to come EVERY SINGLE DAY through next Wednesday. TOO MUCH!!! (but quite yummy, especially with apple sauce)

Posted: 12/7/04 at 9:43pmOk, so all our mother's are the best cooks!. But my Rabbi is a phenomenal cook and she makes latkes from sweet potatoes. They are good just plain. Thereare frozen latkes.....made my Empire. Not very good. CJR..Matzo brei is also known as fried matzo and we eat it at Passover. Again, my Mom makes the best!

Posted: 12/7/04 at 11:17pmI love latkes made from shredded potatoes, crisp and hot with apple sauce. I was listening to Rocco DiSpirito's show on the radio and people were phoning in with variations on their latke recipes. One person said she grates one sweet potato into the potatoes. Another person grated in an apple. I'm a purist but the apple does sound intriguing to me.

Advice to Midwesterners with frrquent latke cravings:
This may sound crazy but if you go to a "Steak and Shake" at breakfast time (or during the middle of the night, for that matter), their breakfast meals come with something they call "silver dollar hash browns", which taste exactly like miniature latkes! I'm sure they'd give you some sour cream for a small aditional charge, but they probably don't have applesauce on the premises.

*Sings* Latkes, latkes, I like latkes, not a little but a lot of latkes....
Anyway, latkes are yummy.
I haven't had any this year, and my mom doesn't make them anymore. Hers always turn out green.
Oh yeah, and applesauce all the way!

Posted: 12/8/04 at 11:36pmMy friend Sunny's mother used to bring them to us in school for lunch during all the Jewish holidays. She also brought it other good food too. I like both sour cream and apple sauce.

I like mine with salt or sour cream.
Apple sauce scares me. I'm weird. I admit it. :)
