When I saw the theme this week I immediately called my mom because Grandma Segal made great latkes and I wanted to know how. Mom gave me the low-down -- potatoes of course which Grandma peeled and I chose not too because I like potato peels, batter made with baking soda only never baking powder, which I followed, fried in chicken fat - I chose to fry in duck fat because you know what's better than stuff fried in duck fat? NOTHING, that's what! Also instead of applesauce I made an apple lemon chutney which sounds like a lot of extra work but TRUST me, it's worth it. And I TOTALLY stole the idea of adding whole sliced lemon from AntoniaJames ... so thanks AJ!! - aargersi
