Episode 13 - Latkes
Get the oil out for Chanukah because it is latke time!


    Show Notes:

    In this episode of Feed Me Bubbe we try to do something cool brand new and different then ever before.

    That's right folks releasing a video that says today is Sunday Dec. 17th and it being released on that very day. So it really is the second day of Chanukah so for your enjoyment we give you latkes.

    Today Bubbe is making latkes and she isn't using measurements. But for you, you can check out the measurements in our recipe section.

    Let's begin... it's very simple and easy no matter how you do it, it will taste good. Time to chop potatoes, onions, and other things. So many wonderful ingredients and oh look a napkin theme. My favorite was the festive napkin covering the oil.

    Time to put the potatoes in the blender. Look at the way it all gets mixed together. Wonderful! It actually is much easier then originally expected since it takes no time.

    Once you have all of the batches add water to get it all started. Time to give the mixture a stir with the flour and make everything well blended.

    Time to add the oil using a good size tablespoon. Check out that zoom into the tablespoon. Now that is what I call a tablespoon.

    Yay the latkes go in and look at how they sizzle. You can smell it through the screen but beware you don't want to burn yourself. Oh the way it sizzles.

    Time for ASK BUBBE! Bruce asks us if he can cut down the fish chowder recipe for 2 or should he just freeze the leftovers? Bubbe advises not to freeze it and a half recipe should be good enough.

    The next question comes to us all the way from Luxembourg. Cedric asks that some recipes that they use include dumplings. Are matzo balls the same as kneydl? Bubbe's answer is yes this is correct that they are all the same. The only difference is that matzo balls is made typically with matzo and dumplings with flour.

    And now it is time for the Yiddish Word of the Day. Today it is GELT the yiddish word for MONEY. The traditional way is not gifts but to get Chanukah gelt. Watch the episode to hear Bubbe tell a wonderful story from her childhood.

    Bubbe thinks it's time to go... but no there is still more show left since the latkes are on the pan.

    This weeks yiddish word of the Day is sponsored by VIRAL on veoh.com where Sunny gives us a wonderful Hanukkah greeting. Go check out her wonderful show to learn about all the great internet shows that you may not know about.

    Look at those latkes sizzle. With the great yiddish music in the background. Oh the brown, tasty, crispiness to it. My mouth is watering.

    Oh but it has to drain on the paper towels but look how golden brown and crispy they are. Time to taste the latkes on the serving plate. But you can't eat them just yet. We need to get some applesauce and sour cream.

    There are so many great tips in here including how to freeze them correctly. Just imagine the mouth watering taste. Taste it you'll like it.

    Freezing is very good if you have to make a whole bunch of latkes. By putting on an oven you can make them fresh. To pack them, make the latkes and let them cool and put it on tinfoil.

    Bubbe tell us how she used to make 100 latkes. Mama-mia she found out such a great way to figure out to make her recipe. Her kids were very proud to have mama make the latkes.

    If you lay the latkes in one layer in no time you have delicious latkes.

    3 frying pans and 100 latkes think of what Bubbe did while you make them. Go ahead you can do it! Enjoy!
