DAVID "THE LATKE KING" FIRESTONE'S CRISPY LATKES



David

These perfect latkes (potato pancakes) are from Molly O'Neill's classic, "The New York Cookbook". The recipe is from her friend David Firestone who hosts a latke party every Hanukkah in Queens. Serve with applesauce and sour cream. Makes 16 latkes.

Categories     Potato

Time 30m

Yield 16 latkes, 16 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 1/2 lbs idaho baking potatoes, unpeeled and scrubbed well
1 large yellow onion, quartered
2 eggs, lightly beaten
1/4 cup matzo meal
4 -5 teaspoons chopped fresh parsley
1 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
2 -3 cups olive oil, for frying

Steps:

  • Pulse the onion in a food processor a few times until the onion is diced into crunchy bits. Remove the blade and scrape the onion into a small bowl. Return the food processor bowl to the machine. (Don't wash it yet.).
  • Cut the potatoes lengthwise to fit in the food processor feed tube. Put the medium-coarse food processor shredding disk and turn it on. Begin feeding the potato slices into the machine.
  • When the potatoes are shredded, put them in a colander over a large bowl. Dump in the onion bits and mix everything around with your hands, squeezing the potato moisture out as you work. Let the mixture drip for a few minutes.
  • Pour out the potato liquid from the bowl, but leave the starch that clings to the bowl. Dump in the shredded potato and onion mix. Add the eggs, matzoh meal, parsley, salt, and pepper. Stir well. Then let it sit for about 10 minutes.
  • In a large cast-iron skillet, pour in ¼ inch of oil. Over high heat, get the oil very hot. Using a ¼-cup measure or a long-handled serving spoon, spoon the batter into the skillet. Flatten each with a metal spatula to a diameter of 4 to 5 inches. Don't worry about them being uniformly round. Reduce the heat to medium and cook the latkes until golden brown on one side. Then turn over and fry them some more. When crispy on the outside and moist inside, about 5 minutes per side, remove and place on several thicknesses of paper towels. Keep doing this until you run out of batter.
  • Serve the latkes immediately.

DAVID FIRESTONE'S LATKES



David Firestone's Latkes image

Back in 1992 the food writer Molly O'Neill playfully named David Firestone "the Latke King" in her "New York Cookbook," and included a recipe he had modified from his mother's and grandmother's. Mr. Firestone, who was for many years an editor at The Times, now uses a food processor to make big batches, sometimes just for the family, sometimes for 60 friends or more. As for the olive oil, it may be the liquid symbol of Hanukkah, but in his house it's imported from Italy.

Time 1h

Yield About 16 latkes

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 large yellow onion, quartered
2 1/2 pounds Idaho baking potatoes, unpeeled
2 eggs, lightly beaten
1/4 cup matzo meal
4 to 5 teaspoons chopped fresh parsley
1 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
2 to 3 cups olive oil
Portuguese pumpkin preserves, for serving (see recipe)

Steps:

  • Place the onion in a food processor. Pulse the blade a few times until the onion is diced into crunchy bits. Remove blade and scrape the bits into a small bowl. Return the food processor bowl to the machine. No need to wash it yet.
  • Scrub the potatoes with a brush, and cut lengthwise to fit into the processor feed tube. Put the medium-coarse shredding disk into the processor and turn it on. Begin feeding in the potato slices.
  • When potatoes are shredded, place in a colander over a large bowl. Dump in the onion bits and mix everything around with your hands, squeezing out the potato moisture as you work.
  • Pour the potato liquid out of the bowl, but leave the starch that clings to the bowl. Dump in the shredded potato and onion mix. Add the eggs, matzo meal, parsley, salt and pepper. Stir the mixture briskly, then let sit for about 10 minutes.
  • In a large cast-iron skillet, pour 1/4 inch of olive oil. Over high heat, get the oil very hot. Using a 1/4-cup measure or a long-handled serving spoon, start spooning the batter into the skillet. Flatten each with a metal spatula to a diameter of 4 to 5 inches. Do not try to make the latkes uniformly round. Reduce heat to medium and cook latkes until golden brown on one side, about 5 minutes. Turn them over and fry some more, another 5 minutes or so. When crispy on the outside and moist inside, remove latkes and place on several thicknesses of paper towels. Repeat until you run out of batter.
  • Serve latkes immediately, with pumpkin preserves.
