Both sides of my family are Jewish -- one hailing from the Ashkenazi regions (Eastern European) and the other Sephardic (Greece and the Mediterranean)...With a Rabbi for a great-grandfather, how could I not love to make potato latkes besides the fact I love, love, love potatoes every which way. Having been part recently of a Japanese culinary event, my twist is using Panko rather than the traditional matzoh meal...which gives it the best crispy/crunchy outside while maintaining the soft and flavorful inside...pairing with traditional basic sour cream and applesauce, or my preference sour cream & chives. - micki barzilay
