LATKES

LATKES
by April Halprin Wayland

You wouldn’t think that

grated potatoes
…..minced onions
……….some eggs
……………some flour
………………..a pinch of salt and pepper

in a batter like pancakes
poured into boiling oil

could taste
…..so crispy brown
……………so yummy hot
………………..so Chanukah
…………………….going down.
