some oldies.

Tomorrow is Purim. However, I looked in my archives for Purim recipes and got Chanukka ones.
Whatever.
Enjoy.

latkes (potato pancakes)
1 lb potatoes, peeled
1 apple, peeled and cored
1 egg, beaten, i guess
1/4 cup flour
salt and peppa

grate potatoes and apple and drain the shit out of it. add flour and egg, salt and pepper, and mix really good.Heat oil in a shallow pan (for frying, about 1" deep). take a handfull of potato moosh, and pat it into a thin patty (usually i roll it in a ball and then smoosh it). Fry until golden, flip, and fry for a few more minutes. you can fry like 6 at a time. drain. eat with applesauce or sour cream on top.YUMMEH. kicks the butt of any hash brown out there. We usually make these in triple batches. However, no matter how good these are, if you grind up a 10 lb bag of potatoes, you will be frying for about 2 or so hours...

My Noodle Kugel
I had to adapt this recipe cause my sister hates rasins in her kugel, and i LOVE to cook for my sister.
I use soy substitues for all the milk stuff and it turns out really well.

1 cup milk (or soy)
1 lb egg noodles (like manichevitz brand)
cinnamon
3 eggs
1 lb cottage cheese (or silken tofu)
a couple tablespoons of good gold rum
3 oz cream cheese (or soy), about 1/2 c
1/2-3/4 c sugar
1 half apple, peeled and diced
1/2 c sliced almonds. break em up a little
1 capfull vanilla

preheat oven to 350. boil noodles till done, drain. grease casserole pan, add noodles. Mix milk, eggs, cottage cheese, cream cheese, sugar, apple, rum, vanilla, and almonds in a bowl till everything is mixed (cept the cottage cheese, of course). add to noodles, and stir really well till its like yellowy noodle soup. bake for an hour. serve warm. this is kinda a side dish, kinda a dessert.
