Two more latke stories! I am now really hungry for latkes with applesauce 🤣

The Miracle of Potato Latkes is the standard trope of not enough ingredients ➡️ mysterious visitor appears ➡️ miracles happen after he is treated kindly. I liked this one more than some of the other similar stories out there, but Moishe‘s Miracle is still my favorite.

Runaway Latkes is a cute Jewish retelling of The Gingerbread Man.

alisiakae @The_Real_Nani I have a whole stack of Chanukah picture book reviews I am slowly making my way through! Some from our home collection, but most from the library. 4y

The_Real_Nani @4thhouseontheleft I‘ll keep an eye out for them! 4y

The Runaway Latkes | Leslie Kimmelman, Paul Yalowitz

#DecDays #Candles Last night was the second night of Chanukah, I made GF latkes using potato flour instead of regular flour and I followed @DebinHawaii suggestion to keep them small👩🏼‍🍳They came out crispy & delicous😋I wanted to post the book THE LATKE MAN my kids used to love it, but I couldn't find it☹️ I'm pretty sure we read this one as well back in the day...

DebinHawaii Yay! I was thinking about your latkes all day today! 🥔❤️I'm glad they turned out well. Now will you mail me some?! 😆 6y

Cinfhen Sorry @DebinHawaii there were none left!!! It‘s super easy to make but the frying takes forever! I‘m not making another batch until next year.....but your suggestion really was the difference. Thank you!!! I did notice in a few bloggers post they called for brown rice flour...I‘ve never used that before, have you? 6y

Centique Yum! 6y

DebinHawaii @Cinfhen Hah! That's why I want someone to make them for me--the grating and the frying. 😆Your's look delicious. I've used rice flour & sweet rice flour but not brown rice flour. Rice flour makes things crispy so I would think brown rice would be slightly heavier than it but I am not sure. I'll have to look for it & try it. 👍 6y

Cinfhen #liveandlearn @DebinHawaii what other recipes call for rice flour?!! 6y

Cinfhen Thanks @Centique they were yummy, I had mine with applesauce, hubby & son had sour cream with scallions on top💙 6y

TrishB Never had - but look tasty 😊 6y

Kalalalatja @TrishB me neither, but they look so delicious! 👌 6y

DebinHawaii @Cinfhen You can make GF pancakes out of it or use it to thicken gravies or soups--it has a good silky texture. I have made tempura with it and fried fish & veggie fritters --like zucchini or onion. You find it called for (as part of a mix usually) in GF baking recipes sometimes. There are other things too that my brain just can't think of at the moment.😜 6y

Cinfhen Thanks @DebinHawaii Im still trying to be more adventurous with my GF culinary attempts! 6y

Cinfhen I'd say they are an amped up version of hash browns @TrishB @Kalalalatja mine are pretty basic although some people get very creative with their latke recipes...they use all types of vegetables & spices to change color & flavor! My SIL adds pastrami 😜 (edited) 6y

DebinHawaii @Cinfhen Of course! I like your adventurous side! 😉😚 6y

mrp27 I loooove latkes but I'm not always successful at making them. 😕 6y

emilyhaldi YUM! 😋 I love a good, solid basic recipe. 6y

Cinfhen I've had some really failed attempts @mrp27 I think keeping the latkes small really made a difference but it took 2x longer to fry !! I agree @emilyhaldi sometimes simple is best😍 6y

mrp27 I'm just gonna have to keep on practicing. One day I'll get it down. 6y

Cathythoughts Beautiful collage. ❤️never heard of Latkes but they look divine 👍 6y
