Title Author ISBN Imprint Series Format from The Story of Hanukkah By Norma Simon Pictures by Leonid Gore     Latkes are potato pancakes fried in oil. The oil is a reminder of the miraculous oil that lasted for eight days when the Temple of Jerusalem was rededicated. (Warning: Always cook with a grown up for help and safety; fried foods can get very hot and can burn!) You will need: 4 cups peeled, grated potatoes 1 large onion, chopped 1 1/2 teaspoons salt 2 tablespoons flour 2 eggs pepper to taste 2 teaspoons chopped chives (optional) Wash, peel, and grate the potatoes. Squeeze out liquid. Combine with onion, salt, flour, and pepper (and chives). Lightly beat the egg, and stir into the mixture. Heat the oil in a skillet, and spoon in tablespoons of the mixture to make medium sized patties. Brown on one side, turn and brown lightly on the other. Repeat with the rest of the mixture. Serve with applesauce, cottage cheese, yogurt, or sour cream.
