Latkes

Latkes - This recipe has 1000+ 5 star reviews.

I love Latkes. When I was 5 or 6 my little friend brought them to our Hanukah party at school. (And brought his dreidl, etc. Way to teach cultural appreciation :)

Anyway. Can't wait to try it! https://cooking.nytimes.com/recipes/1015533-classic-potato-latkes


INGREDIENTS
2  large Russet potatoes (about 1 pound), scrubbed and cut lengthwise into quarters
1  large onion (8 ounces), peeled and cut into quarters
2  large eggs
½  cup all-purpose flour
2  teaspoons coarse kosher salt (or 1 teaspoon fine sea salt), plus more for sprinkling
1  teaspoon baking powder
½  teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
 Safflower or other oil, for frying
Email Grocery List

PREPARATION
Using a food processor with a coarse grating disc, grate the potatoes and onion. Transfer the mixture to a clean dishtowel and squeeze and wring out as much of the liquid as possible.
Working quickly, transfer the mixture to a large bowl. Add the eggs, flour, salt, baking powder and pepper, and mix until the flour is absorbed.
In a medium heavy-bottomed pan over medium-high heat, pour in about 1/4 inch of the oil. Once the oil is hot (a drop of batter placed in the pan should sizzle), use a heaping tablespoon to drop the batter into the hot pan, cooking in batches. Use a spatula to flatten and shape the drops into discs. When the edges of the latkes are brown and crispy, about 5 minutes, flip. Cook until the second side is deeply browned, about another 5 minutes. Transfer the latkes to a paper towel-lined plate to drain and sprinkle with salt while still warm. Repeat with the remaining batter.

From LINKEDIN - Bruce Kasanoff • 2nd Communicate in an uplifting and empowering manner | Park City Think Tank 

When you meet up with a friend you haven't seen in three years, you wouldn't immediately say, "You look 15 pounds heavier." Why not? Doing so would be tactless and cruel, so instead you say something like, "It is so great to see you again," even if you think to yourself that your friend looks a bit on the heavy side. People say that honesty is the best policy, but that's only true if you also show compassion when sharing an honest opinion. In a civilized world, honesty and compassion need to go hand in hand. You must use honesty to help other people, not to hurt them. And you must be cautious not to accidentally harm others. Here are a few tips how to do this... Be human. Recognize that humanity is more important than the absolute truth. Use facts to help another improve his or her life, rather than to do something that might destroy their life. Be cautious. Recognize that the "truth" is always subjective. Each of us sees "facts" through a haze of beliefs, attitudes and experiences. Be generous. Ask more of yourself. The best skill is bringing out talent in others, so rather than judging others, do your best to help them. Be compassionate. Share constructive feedback with tact, and do it when the other person is ready to hear it.
