Foolproof Potato Latkes
This is my mother's crispy latke recipe. It's been a smashing hit at dozens of Chanukah parties. The secret is in the potatoes, which are crushed rather than grated, resulting in a light, crispy latke. Applesauce and sour cream are favorite accompaniments for these latkes. Make an interesting tuna salad, cut up some veggies, and you have a full meal.
Lemon Cheese Cake
This lemon cheese cake recipe isn't made with cheese — it is a layer cake that's filled with a tangy homemade lemon curd (which is another name for lemon cheese). If you like, use your favorite scratch recipe for the cake, but I usually like to simplify all I can.
