The Crunchiest Homemade Latkes (3 Ways)

Everybody wants french fries, potato chips, and tater tots but is forgetting one of the biggest contenders, latkes. Yes, it's simple but more importantly, latkes are the easiest potato recipe aside from mashed potatoes out there. Let me show you guys how versatile these really are with 3 diverse versions.

Anything with potato and frying oil is an immediate sign me up dish....

As a cheap student, who happens to eat latkes very often I got a few tips for ya!
1. After grating your potatoes squize the liquid over some sort of bowl. Let the liquid sit for a minute or two, and potato starch schould collect at the bottom. Dump the potato juice out, and use potato starch for latkes base - helps to hold them together ;)
2. Use all purpose flower instead of panko. It works better for me.
3. You don't have to pre-shape your Latkes. Just drop them carefully into the pan with a spoon, and then smooth your potato blob a bit with the back of a spoon. It's faster this way, and if your latkes break you just end up with two smaller pieces.
4. And for all of my cheap friends out there - you can substitute apple sauce with sugar. Tastes also great!

I was not expecting a legend of korra and a BDSM reference in a cooking video about a potato pancake. But I am all for it

“Papa no kiss, Papa no hug, Papa not even look at you.” Hands down the the greatest line he has said.

I think it's *adorable* how he lists all exact ingredients like I'll get up from my bed to actually make it.

Channukah: *happened in December*
Passover: *ended last week*
Joshua: "I want Wednesday latkes"

Adding white pepper to the traditional mix really gives the latkes the right geshmak and makes them *chef kisses

My man actually smacked his head against a microwave. I'm definitely making all three of these versions because Pa-Pa told me to do so.

I like how he make every single food he made, no matter how traditional or fancy it is, he always plate it up

Being Polish my mom makes them with goulash in between two like a hamburger, then adding her own flavor she makes a sour cream sauce with grated garlic, lemon and top it with some Parmesan cheese.

Just made latkes yesterday, ironically. I’ve always made them year round, they’re way too good to only have around Passover or Chanukah. People can be mad, I’m gonna be enjoying my latkes in peace ✌🏻

Josh should make a kitchen towel with his little mans smily face on it. That way, whenever he makes dough and needs to cover it, he doesn’t have to use plastic wrap. :)

In Korea, we have a traditional pancake similar to the kimchi variations called jeon (전) which is savoury. There are many and other kinds using tofu, mushroom, seafood and kimchi especially made for autumn festival occasions! But the potato version made us very similar to our as gamja jeon (감자전).

I would love it if Joshua could explore Korean culinary foods more often!
