How To Cook Latkes for Hanukkah || Mayim Bialik

Growing up shredding potatoes and dicing onions with Mom & Daddy was always a favorite childhood memory. We'd sing songs and they'd tell us stories, and we'd talk scripture and history and just whatever we wanted. I can't even count the hours we'd spend every year as a family making our latkes. This was awesome to see cuz it's like sharing this kinda memory-making magic with everyone in the world!

[@Kthree1995]

Instead of using paper bags or towels to drain them, I have a splatter screen that I put over the pan during cooking. I take the latkes out of the pan and put them on top of the screen. That lets the oil drain back into the pan and keeps the latke warm.

[@thecockneycrafter]

My Nana used to make them, and taught me when I was still way to young to have been cooking but hey, it was the seventies. She passed on years ago but I could almost hear her shouting "From a PACKET? Mayim!". You are so funny, Mayim. Thanks for bringing my Nana back from the dead (almost) lol x

[@micheller2283]

The packet was the ones who sponsored this video.

[@ariel3703]

Just because the video was sponsored, doesn’t mean it’s right 😂 I cringed too. My mom makes them with potatoes, sweet potatoes, onions, eggs, and matzo meal. They are WAY better than the packet. I’ll have to try that animal style one!

Again, just because you get paid to use a product, doesn’t mean that it is the same quality as the home made thing, or less cringy.

[@aliciafoote9240]

Oh my goodness I love this video! We are not Jewish but started celebrating Hanukkah about 3 years ago at an event in our city. My daughter asked if we could celebrate the holiday after learning about it at school. We learned about the history and celebrate it every year now so the traditions are very new to us. We missed the event this year so we will recount the Hanukkah story and I will celebrate at home with my children. They look forward to this every year now. I hope this does not offend you but as Christians we believe we serve the same God. I grew up watching your show and loved it. From my family to yours. 💗💗 Alicia

[@fraum3725]

Just for scientific accuracy: Chives are not "baby scallions", they're a different species: Both are of the genus Allium, but Chives are A. schoenoprasum, whereas Scallion refers to several other A. species, like A. cepa (which is also the "regular" onion) or A. fistulosum. And to add some personal experience, my grandma grew both in her garden and chives never turned into scallions when she forgot to pick them ;) p.S. Love you, Mayim. Happy Hanukkah!

[@guminee]

it`s so surprising how Jewish traditional recepies are similar to our culture. i am from Lithuania, north-east Europe, right next to Poland, we call those LATKE Bulviniai blynai, leterally potatoe pancace, served with sour cream, cottage cheese and garlic, or with sour plum jam. jummy childhood comfort food

[@daviddrucker8284]

I am not familiar with the Lithuania culture (yet). I look forward to trying cottage cheese and garlic. Thank you

[@guminee]

@@daviddrucker8284 cottage cheese it's not the best description, but I couldn't find right name for it... Anyways tipe of cheese between feta and cottage cheese.. And garlic is better to be squeezed in to pasta or really finely chopped

[@guminee]

Also 8 think we borrowed this recipe from Jewish culture, as I know before that nasty world war ll we had the biggest Jewish community in Europe. So we are almost like cousin's 🧡

[@jackielinde7568]

Giedre Antul - The reason is that the Jewish people have moved around the world for the better part of two thousand years. And, wherever the Jewish people settle, we pick up recipes and customs of the people we settle near. Latkes (potato pancakes) are popular all around the middle and eastern European area, so of course we're going to adapt it and include it into our traditions. We also snagged Schnitzel from the same area as well. (Although, we use chicken cutlets instead of pork.) With a large amount of Jews living in the US and Canada, doughnuts are becoming a popular food for Chanukah, because they're also fried in oil. Also, the potato wasn't available for thousands of years, seeing it hails from South America. More like the last 500 to 750 years.

[@guminee]

@@jackielinde7568 true so as I said all of us like cousin's 🧡 😁😁 not only this recipe but many many of them, I was looking for interesting recipes from around the world, I it's stunning how 8 from 10 Jewish traditional recipes will match our "traditional recipes" and its really good nice simple every day dishes just love it

[@fallingdream]

chives don't grow up to be scallions, they're the same genus, Allium, but different species. A number of Allium species & cultivars are grown for scallions, and it's fair to say chives are LIKE baby scallions, in that you eat the leafy part and they taste oniony and are green (technical terms), but chives are a distinct species that stays small and grass-looking (technical term) and doesn't grow a big tasty bulb anyway actual neuroscientist Mayim Bialik counting aloud so as not to lose track of six is the most relatable ever and I for one am grateful

[@heatherwhittaker6169]

My grandmother made wonderful latkes...she shredded the potatoes and onions herself..we would visit while she made her miracle...love those memories..thank you Mayim.

[@maryschmidt3932]

My family is not Jewish, but my sister has been making latkes every Christmas Eve for years, just cuz they're GOOD. She makes them from scratch: shredded raw potatoes, onion, egg. I think there's still no better topping than sour cream or applesauce, but I've recently added homemade spinach dip to the choices. Nothing beats using fresh ingredients, but the Maneschevitz mix is a good product for what it is. Keeps a while on the shelf and whips right up when you want a fast treat.

[@raelynnelorenz6046]

You are so entertaining and educational!! I love watching you!!!

[@trinahorton8839]

Fried potatoes with stuff on top... Yes!

[@moveyoumetal3027]

We had the pleasure of having latkes at a friends house a few years ago. They are Jewish and during Hannukah they invited us over to show us some of the culture. It was really beautiful to experience. They even made little ymulkas for my boys. I apologize I probably spelled that incorrectly. Happy Hanukkah Mayim. :)

[@ronikabelistadler8237]

My aunt makes a huge meal every year on Chanukah, and she makes about 5 different types of latkes (sort of latkes. We call it לביבות in Hebrew, and it refers to latkes, but also latkes with cheese instead of potatoes). She made this amazing sort of latkes with apples, pears and white chocolate. It was amazing and definitely worth a try!

[@googleyeyes5122]

Sounds yummy!

[@JackieOgle]

Omg! My father in law brought his own little food processor with him and made them all the time! I especially remember he made them for our very simple wedding reception. It was a small family wedding and he cooked. He was trying them up and my Mom was polishing them off as fast as he took them out to the point he said, "June, stop eating the latkes!" I miss he and my Mother in Law so much. Messy is best! I am too! Sometimes when you 're busy hard to keep all neat! Love your videos!

@@fzzypurpleturtle Is that cool, or is that cultural appropriation? I've read that some Jews kinda frown upon some churches who do Passover seders, so I wonder how they feel about Christians doing Hannukah.

[@fzzypurpleturtle]

Kate Ross to get technical-my mom quietly observes it because some Christians believe that Jesus was “conceived” during Hanukkah because that’s the winter solstice and I believe Jesus was actually born in August or September. Also,God states in the Bible that Jews are the chosen people, so some Christians are fiercely protective of them. I’m highly aware of cultural appropriation but I don’t think that’s what she’s doing.

Next year you will have the time to grate a potato and chop an onion since "the show" will no longer require so much time. 3. Chives are chives -- they are not baby scallions (hello? Botany? and you thought it was fluffy), and finally, a question, are you related to the poet? Happy Chanukkah, or as my people say, Happy Christmas Harry.

I'm Cuban and my family makes something like this. We make sweet ones but most commonly make them with bacalao (salted fish/cured fish?). I know it may sound weird but it's delicious.

When you literally just put some Avocado on your Lasagna because you’re a millennium and eat everything whit Avocado 😂✌🏻

[@alos.h256]

Happy Hanukkah Mayim ❤️🕎

I've never tried the boxed version, now you made me want to go out and get it, more reasons to go food shopping which I love. I haven't made latkes in years, so I will give these a try. I'm all about easy, simple recipes, the simpler the better. If I see something too complicating looking, I think, Noope! and move the hell on. I'm of Italian heritage, so I may put some kind of grated cheese on top when they are almost done frying. Love your sense of humor, keep Youtubing! Is that a word?

I was a chemistry major and I love cooking, so, ditto. I totally vouch for the Manischewitz mix! I made many boxes of it for me and grandma while in college.

[@jeanneamato5525]

You are adorable. Great ideas. Happy Chanukah ✡️

[@joshnova9163]

Latkes from a box! Mayim, you can do better! Much better.

@@bsteven885 You'd think she'd make enough on the Big Bang Theory to not need to make money off KZbin.

Yes, more cooking episodes please!! I am non-denominational and I WANT some of those dang latkes!!! LOL

[@obaroya]

I love all things potatoes! I make latkes with shredded potatoes (if I'm lazy, I'll just get frozen hash browns), onions, eggs, salt and some other spices, fry them up in oil and butter and serve them with applesauce and sour cream. Ill be fancy and top them with creme fraiche and caviar or top them with melted cheddar cheese, sour cream, fake bacon and chives for a loaded baked potato sort of thing, or a mini burger patty, ketchup, mustard, lettuce, tomato, cheese, onion, pickle and top with another latke for a mini cheeseburger kinda thing, or cream cheese, smoked salmon, red onion, egg, capers, dill and salmon roe for a latkes and lox sorta thing.

[@secretforreddit]

My family isn;t Jewish, but we still make latkes every once in a while! They're so good. You should definitely make more cooking videos!

[@lelasing8]

Chives are a different thing from green onions- if you keep growing chives they will never turn into green onions ❤️

[@pattyjordan7620]

Yep.
