Latkes

So we were sitting around, in need of some Jewish finger food to munch the lazy afternoon away. And Jerusalem answered our prayers with latkes- traditional potato pancakes eaten by the Jews on Hanukkah. These medallions of shredded potato and parsnips are fried golden like the Arabian sun, and while they are usually eaten with sour cream or yoghurt, Cookism serves it up with the unbeatable flavours of crushed pistachios and pomegranate rubies, a first in the latke world. So if its your first time making latkes, this is the recipe for you. Better latke than never!
