I have made potato pancakes (latkes - for Hanukkah) for 55 years. This recipe and Thomas Joseph's techniques, resulted in the absolute best I have ever made. They were very crispy, and delightfully creamy and soft on the inside. They stayed white rather than turning brownish, which was always a problem. I followed the recipe exactly, using every suggestion. Most helpful was soaking the shredded potatoes in ice water and squeezing out the liquid. Putting the cooked latkes on a rack in a 200 degree oven worked very well and kept them crispy while the rest of the latkes were fried. My guests loved them and came back for seconds and thirds! My only adjustment was to use only two teaspoons of salt, which was more than enough. I also added black pepper. Thank you Joseph!!!

I love when people leave feedback on recipes! Thank you 😊 I’m making them today😋

I have a whole house of people coming for Hanukkah and was looking for a recipe that will wow them. Thank you, Bro. I needed this. You are a lifesaver.

Very very good recipe. Made it today for 12 people to go along with my homemade sausage, egg, and cheese biscuits. I added a little garlic powder and creole seasoning. I had my potatoes soak overnight. It came out perfect!!

I made this today and though I used 7up instead of beer, it still turned out great. We make this a lot in the Philippines but more often we use grated cassava with just a little salt then when cooked we sprinkle sugar on top. It is a typical snack. Thanks for your recipe.

my mouth is watering for a bite of that crispy potato pancake wow thank you very much wonderful demonstration very detailed thank you so much

This is on my weekend menu! LOVE TJ!

What a great teacher ! Thank you. I really like potato pancakes!

Thank you for sharing, I’m going to try this recipe soon.

Glad to see you back. The recipe looks very good, will be making them soon. I hope Sarah is okay. Have not seen her for some time.

Those potato pancakes does look great and I have to try making them and see if mine turns out perfectly. Thanks for sharing this recipe with us all.

Thank you so much for sharing this video. This one is definitely a recipe to make. Thank you.🙂

Great excuse to buy some Pilsner Urquell. Made a batch this morning using your recipe. My Czech husband loved them! Thanks for posting.

Thanks for sharing this recipe.....will definitely try it. One love from Jamaica 🇯🇲

Seems like an easy recipe and I have all of these ingredients. Thanks, man for uploading.

Always see your videos! Love your recipes!

Delicious! That looks very tasty and crunchy. Thanks for sharing and all the best! 🙂🍀

Makes my mouth water! Looks delicious. Making them tonight!!

So authentic...will be making them. Yum.

My perfect day: watching constant loop of Joseph's videos. So calming...yet informative.😁

Thanks Thomas Joseph. I love me some potato pancakes done the right way.

These were amazing! Wow crispy, tiny bit greasy but great! Thanks

Okay, I tried this recipe...AND IT REALLY WORKED & CAME OUT GREAT 😊👍🏽 eating it with steak, chicken, & fish. Wow thank you 🙏🏽

Looks delish- can’t wait to try these... mmmmm

I love that gummy texture in the middle. I have been looking for how to make this kind of latke. They were made by my ex husband's grandma, and she used only finely grated potato and salt. The inside did turn brown but was amazingly delicious, with apple sauce and sour cream. Took forever to grate them by hand but well worth it. Yummy. Not sure if she used a little flour too or not.

Fantastic!

I made latkes two nights ago with dill sour cream on one and applesauce on the other. Last night I decided to make different root latkes: purple turnip, parsnip, and then potato/turnip, and potato/parsnip mix. The applesauce made the turnip one so yummy

hi mate(im australian) we used ginger beer in ours kept everyone happy now its a permanent meal with the grandkids. so thankyou.

I love the way you cooked those potato cakes and have to try making some myself. My grandmother use to make them years ago when I was young and we loved them so much. Thanks for sharing this recipe with us all.

I always very thoroughly enjoy your videos. Very informative, educative and well researched. Thanks very much. My request, if at all possible, as Christmas is drawing near, a traditional Christmas Fruit Cake would bring lot of cheers.

Two fingers up! Great teacher always! I’m from mexico

TJ - Nice work on this recipe. Wonder if we could get similar results in an air fryer? Thanks for the great recipes!

This is the way they should be made!

Great tip on the paper towel. Thanks.

Look at that large bowl! Look at the shiny skillet! Look at that huge fridge! Also the key tips clearly articulated! Everything is so nicely and professionally done!

Yeah! Thomas is back! 😊

Yummy!! This would be good with A fried egg on top!!!🍳🍳🍳

They look so good. My mom made them, but she used the fine side and it was like apple cause and mixed the rest of ingredients. They were good but soggy.

Hey Thomas, is it possible to substitute potato or corn starch for the AP flour to make them gluten free?

Absolutely 💯 magnificent. ⭐⭐⭐⭐

These are the best latkes!!! Unanimous vote by each of my family members who are latke maivens--After they were done I placed them in my Ninja air fryer to keep them warm, and that helped make them even crispier. But Thomas' beer I think was the real trick!!

Love his videos. Haven’t seen any from Sarah lately.

Love it! Thank you!

Good idea to use 1/4 cup of light beer or seltzer water & grapeseed oil for cooking - (I never did this before) Thanks again!

I mean, he's always got a pencil behind his ear. He can erase that "y" they added to the end of his name in the title.

So I'm making these for me and my roommates right now right from your video what would you suggest using if I don't have beer....

Yummo 💛

Chappy Chanukkah Thomas!

These were crispy deliciousness.. I used a food processor to shred potatoe and onion-quick!

can you fry them up a day before and re-heat? Hate making recipe like this day of. Looks amazing😃

Love fried potato

I'm in!!!

This is so tasty but I made it little bit salty other than that it was perfect 🥰

I think a hard apple cider or an apricot ale would be a great idea for the beer. And if you can't use alcohol sparkling apple coder would be good because this is traditionally paired with apple sauce.

Making these right now!! They are delish…. And you’re right, you do need that amount of salt. I pulled back and they’re under seasoned… should have listened to the pro 😂

Thomas Joseph: talks Me: is furiously taking notes

Is the recipe printed out in full anywhere?

It’s similar to using some pasta (boiling) water, and adding it to your sauce when marrying the pasta with the sauce, to thicken it and bind it together.

I was wondering the same, similar deal with the water. "We want to squeeze out the water" -> reintroduces water using beer. But it's probably about control. You want to remove it all first, then only add what you want. Still, I would omit the beer.

mustardayonnaise omg thank you so much.. I’ve been scrolling for 5 minutes looking for how many potatoes he used. and was losing hope.

These look and sound great. Wanted to do something different for our holiday dinner for my family, and of course they said "Well, we probably aren't gonna eat em, but you can make em if U want". 😁 We shall see! They like their "traditional" stuff....but since we have some of that ancestry, they should at least try them! 😆😆😆

I'm confused. We soak the potatoes to get rid of the starch but add them back in right after?

@leonardpearlman4017

I think there's a little confusion here! You can soak them to get rid of whatever it is that turns brown! A lot of people keep that starch and add it back, and/or put flour as well. You need something to stick it all together and make a pancake! The most elementary potato pancakes are made from just the starch and the grated potato pulp, maybe salt.

Wouldn't all the bubbles from the beer be gone after mixing like that?

Thank you for fool proof tips. Potato pancakes to bring to the table.

this is pretty much a German "Reibe Kuchen". in general served with smooth applesauce,(apfelmuß) or on buttered black bread (pumpernickel ), with( Kräuter quark) or herbed cream cheese.

Take a shot everytime this guy says "in the end"

did you cook the potatoes before shredding

Is there a written recipe?

Can I replace the all purpose flour to rice flour ?? I'm gluten intolerant thank you

Sure, you might have to adjust the amount a bit but it should work fine. It may even turn out better. Rice four tends to crisp up more than wheat.

Of course, the ultimate latka question is: sour cream or applesauce? (#TeamApplesauce represent!)

Forget doing the starch at the bottom of the bowl. Use 2 tablespoons of Streits potato starch you can get from the market.

Applesauce is fine - sour cream is the usual in a Jewish household because the entire meal is latkes -- nothing else. When eating a meat meal for Chanukah, no dairy is permitted IF the people are kosher. A solo latkes meal is the dairy meal for the 8 days. I love my latkes cold with a bit of sugar, too.

Looks great but i do like mine to be just a little gummy on the inside.

Could we bake them instead of frying them?🤗

I line my salad spinner with a thin cloth----and spin, spin, spin...

good with apple sauce!

Garlic!!!

Are you making latkas?
