This Latke recipe is from Martha Stewart. I don't think she will have this recipe removed. She has confidence in herself and it is available on her web site. This is a delicious traditional Hanukkah recipe that you and your family will enjoy. Ingredients:
4-5 large russet potatoes, peeled |
1 small white onion, finely grated |
2 large eggs, lightly beaten |
1/4 cup good quality beer |

1 tablespoon coarse salt |
freshly ground black pepper |

1. Preheat oven to 200 degrees.

3. Alternatively, place half the potatoes in the bowl of a food processor fitted with the shredding disk attachment and process until shredded.

5. Transfer to a large bowl of ice water.
6. Using a strainer or slotted spoon, transfer potatoes, reserving liquid, to another large bowl lined with a clean kitchen towel and gently squeeze dry.
