The League of Amazing Latkes

I dream about potato pancakes. There aren't enough Hanukkah parties to sate my appetite; I always want more. Let’s love each other and make enough for the whole world. Ready? ;-)

Even though I have the perfect recipe— and I do mean "the best latke you've ever tasted"— my routine used to take a couple hours of numbing handwork to prepare, and ruined any possibility of a quick fix.

Everyone knows you have to get the water expressed out of the potatoes in order for latkes to “taste right.” But I didn’t like squeezing water out of potato gratings in cheesecloth scraps until my arms fell off. No one wants to spend all day grating a mountain of potatoes plus part of your knuckles.

It turns out that immediate gratification is possible with the right equipment.

It took me twenty years to realize this, but no one should suffer as long as I did. The tools are everything in this recipe. There are no substitutions!
