#Latkas

[kick-a-long]

Do you have a recipe for potato latkes? My favorite restaurant that served potato latkes closed when they retired and I need them in my life.

I usually make up the recipe based on the potatoes I have. Russets are the best for crunchy latkas but any really starchy ones will do. I used Yukon this year (the ones that are yellow on the inside and very waxy) so I needed more binding starch and they were still great.

I usually half any recipe or use my hands to figure out how many potatoes I need. Three hands of potatoes will get you like 6 latkas (which is a good number for two people. You’ll only feel a little too full.)

So take 3 hands of potatoes box grated into a bowl and half an onion grated into the same bowl. Put that into a clean kitchen towel or old t shirt that you don’t mind getting gross and stretched out. Then you use it to squeeze all the water out. Like so:

Once the liquid is out (dryer is better) you get rid of the liquid. put the potatoes back in the bowl with an egg a heaping teaspoon (you can just grab two big pinches of salt) mix it up and start adding some flour until it’s scoop able (you should max out at 1/4 cup of flour but you might need less or more depending on how much water was left in the potatoes. You can also use potato starch I think, I use gluten free king aurther flour.) if you get to 1/4 cup of flour give it little rest with plastic wrap pressed to the surface (potatoes oxidize into an angry black color left exposed to air but it doesn’t effect the taste. It just looks scary before it’s cooked. They turn out normal after frying.

I put about an inch or an inch and a half of oil in a frying pan and heat it up. (You know it’s the right temp when you put in a potato scrap and it starts bubbling and making noise.

Get a spoon and scoop out the size of latka you want. When they turn golden brown scoop them out with a slotted spoon or spider (or chopsticks if you’re really confident about your chopsticks skills) and onto a plate lined with a paper towel. Apply sour cream, curse apple sauce supremacists, and 😋. munch as soon as possible without leaving permanent burns.

(if you’re freaked out by shallow frying 1. you can put the batter in the fridge so it stays harder and is easier to work with. 2. Have a second spoon ready to push the batter out of the first spoon. 3. Have a lid handy and use it like a shield so any oil pops don’t burn you/if there’s a fire or smoke or something and 4. Make sure to slide, not plop or drop, the mix in as close to the surface of the oil as possible to minimize splashing. 5. Use a bigger pan than 9 inches or only fill a small pan a little less than half way. 6. Wear long sleeves. )

Latkas!

They were definitely doing a latka flipping contest and when they got back the latkas were all gone cause Louie and Della ate them all and Scrooge makes a joke about the amount of potatoes in the house causing a famine in Ireland and Huey and Webby start info dumping about the Irish Potato Famine and Scrooge is desperately trying to escape from them explaining something he literally lived through and doesn't need explained and Beakley just shakes her head like 'this is what you get for making a tasteless joke and also never telling anyone about your life, you're on your own'

Donald is still stuck in the pantry

While I personally don’t think any of the CB cast celebrate Hanukkah, I think Buddy would be an absolute legend at dreidel because he’s a chocolate fiend and would collect all the gelt every time

no generalnie już od listopada to Rozważam, więc maybe maybe, jakiś piątkowy wieczór na początku października... (bo 50% zniżki na bilety dla wszystkich, w tym chyba na wystawy czasowe, które jednak trochę kosztują). ewentualnie jeśli się szybko we wrześniu obronię to who knows, darmowe wtorki na ekspozycje stałe też kusząca rzecz (grupowe roasty matejki, who's with me)

I needed to practice traditional inking and my brain's still on Taxi time, so (een an eemeetation of de Ed McMahon) "Here's Latka!"

Andy Kaufman as Latka Gravas on the 80s TV show, Taxi. Andy was a comic genius. He was hilarious 😂 I miss his humor very much. He was a weird and wonderful comic. RIP, Andy 🙏🏼

Showing you my plushies :3 (w/ pictures)

Kita the akita by douglas cuddle toys Name: Latka (romanized latke -> is a type of potato pancake) Nicknames: n/a Pronouns: She/her Notes: She is a very good protector and makes me feel safe I know I can rest easy with her looking out for me <3 she was also the very first douglas dog I got! That means I can blame her for the urge to start a collection (joke!! I love her!) she has the most stuffing out of the three and she stands very nicely for photos!

Wolfgang the german pointer by douglas cuddle toys Name: Hashbrown (Hashbrown -> potato.. accidently started a potato theme...) Nicknames: Hash Pronouns: He/him Notes: He has very short and soft fur and has the softest collar because its technically a fabric bracelet (I think...) (or a small arm band...) (not really sure about that) with a little ring for his tag which is made out of pony beads! He is my favorite to bring around the house because he's floppy and slightly smaller than Latka which makes it easier to bring him places and plus he's very nice to hug

Maizie the australian shepherd by douglas cuddle toys Name: Spooks (wait the theme was potato umm.. oh gosh -> potatoes are.. fall?) Nicknames: Mid-day spooks, Mayday spooks, MD spooks Pronouns: All Notes: Only one without a collar as I can't find one that looks good on her neck! I'm thinking about giving them a bandana though because I think it'll work better! Very large and has very long soft fur makes them a very good cuddler :3
