Reader Comments on Chanukah: Latkes from YankeeMagazine.com http://www.yankeemagazine.com/rss/index.php Sun, 12 Feb 2012 19:02:41 +0100 FeedCreator 1.7.2 http://www.yankeemagazine.com/issues/2007-11/food/latkes It's always such a challenge to get the first couple of latkes out of the pan in anything other than a formless glop of potato slurry. I'd welcome any recommendations on how to improve this situation (which always seems to improve once three or four latkes have gone in and out of the pan).

Or letting the pancakes get brown on the bottom. Using cast iron is the best.

My recipe comes from my Czechoslovakian grandma.
