An anticipated 1,375 potatoes will be used to prepare latkes (potato pancakes) that will be served on flights from New York (JFK/Newark) this holiday season.
EL AL has been kind enough to share its latke recipe with Hybrid Mom, created by Executive Chef Steven Weintraub.
Latkes:
5 raw, peeled, shredded Idaho potatoes
1 diced small spanish onion
1/2 diced red pepper
1/4 cup flour
1 egg (beaten)
1/4 tsp. baking powder
1/2 tsp. kosher salt
1/8 tsp. ground white pepper
1 cup canola oil
Sauté onions and red pepper in 2 tbs. in oil. Add shredded potatoes; quickly sauté and blend. Remove from heat and add flour, egg, baking powder, salt and pepper. Blend well. Heat skillet and add remainder of oil. Drop a ¼ cup of mixture in a skillet. Form round pancakes and fry until golden brown on each side. Makes about 2 dozen.
Whether you’re Christian, Jewish, or “no-comment,” it’s fun to explore cultural treats from around the world. Enjoy!
