I'm WASP, but married into a Brooklyn family with Russian/polish roots, and friends with whom Chanukah, Seders, and Christmas dinners were all celebrated with each other. Olga's Latkes (my late mother-in-law) were a family tradition but no one had gotten them quite right since she died. I followed your instructions today, with much trepidation, and my wife said they were as close as she's tasted. Thanks for the inspiration and passing of the tradition.
"I'm packing this up for you." lol That brings back memories. No visit is complete unless your older relative has loaded you down with food and stuff of all kinds.
Here I am it's 13 years since you made this video. I Subscribed because this was the best video.
I love your Bubbe.
I adore the "Kosher Only" sign.
Thank you. Will do right now.
I absolutely love your potato latkes. WARNING EVERYONE! There is a big problem I found with these. I drink beer with them and I just can't stop eating them. After about ten of the latkes, my belly feels like there is a big rock in it just sitting there. No matter how much exercise I get going back to the fridge for another cold brew, same feeling. At least I will die with a contented smile.
Thanks for the warning… what’s better than potatoes and beer? Cheers 🍻
Makes me wish all our grandparents could be with us for every festival. So wonderful to see this video right before the Chanukah.
She's so cute!!!! :-)
If any one needs her recept here it is. She use to have a website with it. Thank god I kept it.
Servings 18 to 24
3 lb Idaho potatoes.
2 lb yellow onions.
3 eggs
1/2 cup flower
1/4 tsp Baking Powder
2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp black pepper
High heat resistance vegetable oil
Preparation
Peel potatoes and cut up for shredding in food processor. Squeeze out excess liquid from shredded potatoes. Do the same with the onions. Put shredded potatoes and onions back into food processor and mix well. Pour mixture into large mixing bowl. Add eggs, flour, salt, and pepper. Mix well and set aside. In large skillet, heat enough vegetable oil to fry latkes. When oil is hot, drop large heaping spoonfuls of potato mixture into pan and fry until golden brown on each side. Drain latkes on paper towel to absorb excess oil. Makes approximately 18-24 latkes.
It’s not 2 lb of yellow onions, just two yellow onions according to her blackboard.
yum
18-24 latkes not servings. Probably 2 servings in my house 😆
She doesn’t mention baking powder here. I wonder what it does.
Thank You!
God bless you bubbe. My barchart came from Poland and made the most delicious and tender potato pancakes. This brought back sweet memories, thank you ❤
My first Christmas with my former husband, we lit the Menora our "Jewish Princess" friend gave us for our wedding gift...we aren't Jewish. He was actually Swahili and I am German Italian. All my mom's relatives were from Sicilly. Another girlfriend who was Jewish, showed me how to make Latkes in 1980. This video is a good memory refresher!
A son's love for his Mom .... Good job Dude..!
To you she is Bubbe…For me it’s like watching my Italian Nonna! Thank you! These recipes of older generations are one thing TH-cam does right!
Blessings all…

BUBBE....LOVE YOUR RECIPES....THANK YOU SO MUCH IAM LEARNING ALOT.
My daughter recommends that I take cooking lessons from you, Bubbe! So, I agree your lessons helped me a lot. I never have strained mine to get the liquid out and I also don’t add flour! So, thank you so much Bubbe for teaching me how to make a better latke! Mine were more like hash browns!
She’s so cute!!💜
Thanks for sharing. Awwwww she's so cute.

Baba, sure knows how to make real Latkes, others I have watched are to lazy and make the real thing instead make shredded potato Latkes. Great job Bubbe!
Adorable 🙏🏽🥰
Yum! Yum! Thank you!
Todah rabah, bubbe.
Bless you
Essen gezinte hayt❤️
so cute!
So sweet
I miss my bubbe. If you ever need a visitor I would love to spend a day with you learning how to cook better!
I had a bubbe that made me latkes and the best matzoh ball soup :) she is missed
I wish my Gramma was still a live to cook 👩🍳 for me so cute and professional
Thank you!!
What is the song in the background called when she is cooking?
Gut Yantif Bubbe!
I'm sorry, folks, but I'm compelled to point out that this recipe does NOT show what she actually did to create these latkes. Notice the bowl on the viewer's right at 1:50. Those are not blitzed potatoes, they are shredded potatoes, which you can see more clearly as she mixes everything at 2:29. Was this what she meant by "I always leave out some of the potatoes"? Was there a filmed sequence of the shredding that was missed in post-production?
This is how you do it. Only a bubbe can make latkes right.
I love her
♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️
Nu, bubbe? A question. Why flour and not matzoh meal?
No matzo meal?
thank you !
I'm hoping bubble is still with us as I have a question to ask her.....where is the smaltz?
Sidney Leibson I’ve never seen anyone use chicken fat in latkes
Sidney Leibson In the fridge during Hanukkah because it’s all about the oil.
👍👍👍👍👍👍👌😘🌹
Vegetable oil??
Oye! If only my mother had owned a food processor.
Yeah we used to do these by hand
legend
A kosher cook would always crack the eggs in another bowl to check then add to recipe
i miss my bubbe
Very nice...if you're making German Potato Pancakes. No problem. But for Jewish Latkes the potatoes need to be shredded into longer strips.
That’s how it comes out if you grate the potatoes by hand which was how I learned. I never used a food processor for this. The bubbe’s hands look arthritic which is probably why she is forced to use the processor.
