Cooking with Awesome: Festival of Fried Foods

[loquaciouskook]

Every year my family has a Chrismukkah get-together with my oldest friend and her family. I make tourtiere, she makes latkes -- it`s a fabulous combination! -- you should try it some time! Then we light the menorah and decorate the Christmas tree. Because we are made of awesome, if I do say so myself.

So, what's with the New York accent bits? At least, I think that it was supposed to be New York. Maybe the attempt was actually for Boston.

[flawedartist]

@WatcherThePunk I have no idea. For some reason I periodically get accents. It's an oddity even I don't fully understand.

How do yu "dry them well" after straining your grated potatoes?

[ainekatt]

I want that apron.

I really do.

[ainekatt]

Mmmm Jordan more proof that you cook like delicious.

My mum hasn't made any sweet potatoe latkes yet this year, but it is an old tradition.

[SillyJaime]

This is probably the most delicious thing I've ever seen you make here. Because potatoes are involved. And I'm so Irish and I heart taters. *swoon*

[splicegrrl]

Wow, that doesn't look as difficult as I thought. I will be making this for sure!!

Do your eyes water when you cut onions, because it's kinda like torture for me, but I endure it, because I love onions.

@splicegrrl suck on a lemon wedge if the burn gets too bad. It usually helps.

[MKIced]

Latkes are absolutely delicious. I'm not Jewish, but I LOVE THEM! :)

[ChateauOfADoubt]

lookit your hebrew! How'd you do that?

[pianopro101]

Wow! I have never heard of them. But they sound yummy!!! :)

And I love your glasses!!!

[joebob1379]

Those look GOOD! I could see the steam rising off them... yummm...

[PKMNnerdfighter]

Mmm, sounds delish. I'm not big on sweet potatoes or onion though. :/ Maybe I'll try it some day.

[editingevil]

I freakin LOVE latkes. I had this awesome latke set at a restaurant, had sushi-grade salmon and a buttery sauce on it. SO good.

[Mizzuru]

I don't have a microwave....

[jgordon707]

Its like Im back home with grandma. Gotta try it myself.

[flawedartist]

I think I may have a nutmeg problem. Did you see my eggnog recipe?

[EricsEveryNewDay]

I need to stop watching these so late at night.

[kikkeliskokkeliskoo]

I may have to try this.

[SakuraHirot87]

those Latkes look pretty much like hashbrowns... just saying...

[KeinanLynx]

my brain is about as fried as those latkes... were you there at Red's when she tried to make latkes and ended up setting off the fire alarm, and then they were first trying to cover it with towels, and finally they just broke it?

[pete275]

woah, I've been making these (or something very similar) for years without knowing they existed

[dneujahr87]

That looks so good *salvation glands activated* I must try this, possibly as early as this week-end. Thanks for sharing!

[surferartchick]

I'm digging these cooking vids, I hope you keep them going once you start work!.

Oh! What are you doing for New years? I might be in town. ;)

[flawedartist]

I'll be hanging out with you, of course.

[KryssMR]

my french teacher is bringing some of these in on friday!

i'm excited, because they look delicious. =]

[pkreeves]

Very nicely done for a Shiksa! ;)

[scratchingcat]

I dice the potatoes in the food processor. Works just as well and leaves my wrists and fingers pain free. ;)

Great video!

[flawedartist]

Sadly I don't have one of those yet. Maybe for christmas :)

[ktheonlykid]

can you eat latkas with cheese? I'm hungry now.

[flawedartist]

You CAN add cheese to them!

[elffia]

nice! but you forgot the sour cream!

It's also really important to mention that using too little oil results in greasy latkes! I forget the chemistry of it, but if you want really good latkes, you have to use too much oil!

[advancekid]

looks so amazing!

[analog56x]

haha, your videos are so awesome! i love watching them!

looked awesome! i just bought a huge bag of taters, so i think ill give this a try!

[sammyboy1234]

Mazel Tov!

[sleepylain]

oh YUM! Thanks for sharing this! It looks delicious!

[TheCallumMeister18]

That looked lush. Looks like a brilliantly affordable dish for students too. Shall make some and let you know how they turn out :)

[topazliquidfire]

I am not jewish, but latkes make me crazy. SOO delicious:)

[topazliquidfire]

I feel so special!!!!!! I am one of the/the first viewer!
