POTATO LATKES

We enjoyed the holiday season filled with outings, get-togethers, and family time. It was also the year when Hanukkah started on Christmas Day.

Our tradition is to make a “manly” quiche for breakfast on Christmas Day. It is an old @emeril recipe which, as Big Guy says, has the ingredients to satisfy the hungry heart. It was something we all looked forward to for Christmas especially the men in the family!

The bottom of the quiche calls for hash browns, so Big Guy, falling into my two meals in one theme for the year, suggested we also make latkes to observe Hanukkah. Latkes are a traditional Jewish dish made from potatoes that are like a pancake or fritter.

It turned out to be the perfect “appetizer” slathered with apple butter before we dove into the quiche. It was a lovely way to maximize ingredients while also observing two major holiday events.
