Tonight we have our traditional Hanukkah celebration. Our daughter has invited a friend and we are all feeling festive. John takes his deep-frying rig out to the patio so our kitchen is not a grease bomb and we are ready for the fried potato feast!  The latkes are everything you want in a latke, they are crisp yet soft on the inside. I make a big salad with bacon as the crispy element and we have a loaf of French bread because bread, duh. We have spiced cookies for dessert and it is all good.

Table with menorah plus bread and salad

These latkes are the best!! Served with applesauce and sour cream
