Abbylovi Posted December 17, 2007 Share Posted December 17, 2007 Abby, what kind of fat did you use? Unless I use Crisco (now trans-fat free! ), my latkes don't work. I used a combo of crisco and corn oil. Baroness, so do you omit the matzo meal and flour? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Baroness Tapuzina Posted December 17, 2007 Author Share Posted December 17, 2007 Abby, what kind of fat did you use? Unless I use Crisco (now trans-fat free! ), my latkes don't work. I used a combo of crisco and corn oil. Baroness, so do you omit the matzo meal and flour? Yes, I have never used flour or matza meal. Actually, four generations of my family have not used it.

g.johnson Posted December 17, 2007 Share Posted December 17, 2007 Cast iron is tricky because it really holds the heat. I think Wilf is correct, you were frying too hot. Guess it was your fault afterall. I would have said the very opposite. Food gets greasiest when you put it into cold oil. The trick is to have the oil hot enough that the food begins to sizzle immediately but not so hot that the surface burns before the item is cooked through. A temperature of about 350F is good. Get a suitable thermometer. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Behemoth Posted December 2, 2021 Share Posted December 2, 2021 Made sweet potato latkes with smoked salmon and horseradish cream. Recipe said it was for four to six portions but it was more like two to four. Kind if true of all things fried, I guess. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

The OP explained why she chose to place it Middle East & Africa. There has got to be multiple Hannukah threads on the site. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
