Hannukah Latkes

Being half Jewish, I decided it was only proper to celebrate Hannukah halfway. I did the menorah thing and the latke thing, but skipped out on playing dreidel, which by the way is an incredible game if you've never played it. Driedel games at my parents house would go on for hours, OK 20 minutes, and then either my sister or I would get fed up. One of us would steal all the chocolate money pieces(gelt) and eat them. Obviously the game was over after that. Since this was my first Hanukkah away from home, I got a shiny menorah from target and picked up some Manischewitz Potato Pancake mix from the local grocery store. Maybe not the most traditional way to do things, but hey- it works. Jenn, of Steak and Fries night fame, came over to keep me company while I fried the latkes. We had a good time and split a pint of Ben Jerrys for dessert.

I don't have the recipe, like I normally do because I got it off the box, which is now in the trash. If you wanna try making latkes, pick up a box of the mix and follow the directions on the box. They go great served with applesauce, sour cream or some jelly. Try all three and find which one you like best!
