Eighth night of Hanukkah and I’m burnt out as well as deep-fried. Craving something light and fresh with clean flavor. The “everything” blend adds a bit of crunchy toastiness and a lot of well-seasoned taste. The Yogurt sauce adds a bit of refreshing creamy tartness. The fresh green dill adds herby-ness, […]
Read more →There are many far-flung fancy variations of the good ol’ latke out there, and even on this website, but I mean potato latkes for the first night of Hanukkah, right? It’s a no brainer.
