Latke The Party Begin The joy and traditions of the fried spud
BY CHRISTY HINKO
chinko@antonmediagroup.com
Potato latkes, a beloved dish in Jewish cuisine, have a rich history and cultural significance that spans centuries. The origins of latkes can be traced back to Eastern Europe, where potatoes became a staple in the 18th century. The dish gained prominence among Jewish communities, particularly during Hanukkah, the Festival of Lights.
T
he connection between latkes and Hanukkah is rooted in the story of the miracle of the oil. According to tradition, during the rededication of the Second Temple in Jerusalem, a small amount of oil miraculously lasted for eight days. To commemorate this event, foods fried in oil, like latkes, are consumed during the festival. Over time, latkes evolved to include grated potatoes, onions, eggs, and flour, creating a delicious fried pancake. As Jewish communities migrated, so did the tradition of enjoying latkes, and the dish became a symbol of cultural identity. Latkes are not only a cherished Hanukkah dish but have also gained popularity worldwide. Beyond their cultural significance, they serve as a symbol of resilience and celebration. Whether enjoyed with applesauce or sour cream, potato latkes continue to bring people together, transcending cultural and religious boundaries, and leaving a crispy, flavorful imprint on the culinary landscape. Paul Marcy, originally from Great Neck, shared his personal recipe for latkes, which are highly sought after by friends and family during the holidays. “My mom’s cousin Bruno’s wife, who we called Aunt Theresa, made them the best; I learned from watching her make
them,” Marcy said. Bruno and his wife lived in Bayside. “My dad’s mom, Catherine, made them really well too,” Marcy said. “She lived in Washington Heights; that’s where all of the first-generation Germans lived decades ago.” Marcy said that some people only make and eat latkes for Hannukah. “I say, ‘If you love latkes, make them and eat them whenever you want,’” Marcy added.
Directions The potatoes can be peeled or not. If you do not peel the potatoes, scrub them well. Grate the potatoes on a box grater into a large mixing bowl. Longer strokes on the shredded potatoes are preferred to help keep the latkes formed through the process. Do not shred the potatoes until you are ready to mix and begin cooking.
Potatoes oxidize and turn brown quickly after grating them. Work quickly. Pour the grated potatoes onto a clean tea towel. Fold towel edges over to form a pouch, containing the shredded potatoes.
Over a bowl, wring towel with shredded potatoes wrapped inside. Save the squeezed water to make gravy with later,
Peeled or unpeeled russet potatoes are best for latkes.
Simple ingredients, eggs, matzoh meal and onions, make the tastiest treat.
Long shreds of potatoes hold the latke together best.
Use a tea towel to squeeze the excess moisture from the potatoes.

PAUL’S LATKES from page 3B if desired, otherwise, discard water. Squeeze all excess moisture out of shredded potatoes. Return shredded pototoes to a large mixing bowl. Add chopped onions to shredded potatoes. In a small bowl, lightly beat three eggs and add them to the potato mixture. Add salt and pepper to mixture. In a large skillet, add canola oil. A well-seasoned cast iron pan is best, but not necessary. Turn stove burner to medium high to high heat to preheat oil. Begin hand mixing potato mixture in large mixing bowl. Mixture should be evenly moist. If mixture appears to be too dry, add another lightly beaten egg. If the mixture is too moist, work in another tablespoon or two of matzoh meal until the desired consistency is achieved. Measure 1/2 cup potato mixture with a meauring cup. This makes a meal-sized latke. Measure smaller portions of potato mixture for smaller-sized latkes. Place measured potato mixture into hot oil. Leave a small space between each latke for even cooking. Press latke slightly to form a flatter pancake shape. With a fork, move thinnner, loose potato shreds onto top of latke, for even cooking. Cook until golden brown on first side,
Autumn pears Christy Hinko
Fry the potato mixture to your preferred doneness. Photos by Christy Hinko approximately six minutes. Flip latke with a spatula or fork carefully, as to not splash oil. Lightly move latkes throughout cooking to make sure they are not sticking to pan. Continue frying latkes until both sides are golden brown, approximately four more minutes or to desired doneness. Move cooked latkes to plate lined with several layers of paper towel to absorb excess oil. Lightly salt plated latkes to taste. Serve immediately, piping hot straight from the pan. Fresh is best, but these do freeze well. Latkes are great served with applesuce, sour cream or plain. Fork-clean oil in pan, removing fried potato pieces before starting next batch. Makes 20.
Pears Stewed In Sirup Pear season is underway, and Emily Post’s “Pears Stewed In Sirup” is a great way to use pears that aren’t quite ripe yet and get the most out of them. The following is Emily’s recipe from the 1951 edition of Emily Post’s Cookbook. Note that spelling and grammar follow 1950s standards. Time: 40 minutes Makes: 4 Ingredients 4 slightly unripened pears 1 cup sugar 2 cups water 1 lemon 1/2 tsp. vanilla extract
Directions Bring sugar and water to a boil and continue boiling 3 to 4 minutes. Add pears, peeled and cut into quarters. Grate the yellow part of the lemon rind [zest] and add this, together with the juice of 1/2 the lemon, to the pears and sirup. Simmer 25 minutes. Add the vanilla and simmer 5 minutes more. Cool and chill before serving. —The Emily Post Institute

Popcorn As Holiday Decoration Dec. 13 is National Popcorn String Day In the late 1800s, popcorn was a fascinating treat (not a lot of streaming options back then), thus it became increasingly popular around holidays like Christmas. Victorian revelers would use popcorn to spruce up their mantelpieces, doorways and evergreens; ornaments were created using popcorn balls, a popular sweet that was cheap to make. Today, popcorn is still used for decoration and gift giving. How to String Popcorn: Make a large amount of popcorn the day before and allow it to sit out overnight. Fresh popcorn breaks easily; day-old popcorn is tougher. Make a fresh batch to eat while you make your popcorn garland using the stale popcorn.

Thread a needle with strong thread, waxed cotton thread, or even dental floss. Select a length you want or keep the thread on the spool and cut once you’ve reached the desired length after stringing.
Start stringing one popcorn kernel at a time by inserting the tip of the needle into the center of each piece. Alternate with cranberries if desired. When finished, cut string, remove needle, and tie large knots at both ends. Carefully hang the garland on your tree, mantel, or even your outside shrubs for animals to enjoy. —The Popcorn Board

Editor’s Picks:
A Food Journey Around Long Island BY CHRISTY HINKO
or call 516-231-1950 to place an order or for more information.
chinko@antonmediagroup.com
Since the onset of COVID-19 three years ago, restaurants, not just on Long Island, but worldwide, faced unprecedented challenges for nearly two years. Lockdowns, social distancing measures, and capacity restrictions significantly impacted their operations. Many establishments shifted to takeout and delivery services to survive, accelerating the adoption of digital platforms.
H
ealth and safety protocols became paramount, with increased sanitation measures and contactless dining options. The industry witnessed closures of numerous beloved eateries, while others adapted by redesigning spaces and embracing outdoor dining. Supply chain disruptions affected ingredient availability, leading to menu changes. Despite these hurdles, resilience and innovation have marked the industry’s response, fostering a new era of adaptable and tech-savvy dining experiences. Here are some of our favorite restaurants, in no particular order, that we have
visited with friends and family or worked with since the COVID restrictions lifted and are happy to help support and promote their new or continued success.
