God Help Us All... White Castle Latkes
Over in NoLibs, Honey's Sit 'n Eat makes some great latkes.
Latkes, those artery-cloggingly awesome Jewish potato pancakes, have long been a Hanukkah favorite. Give them some sour cream and applesauce... and you've got the side dish of (Jewish) kings.
But all's not right in the latke world. God help us all, the winner of the White Castle recipe contest were a strange dish called "The Latkes You Crave." Yes, White Castle slider latkes:
The recipe takes the hamburger patties off the buns and crumbles them into a batter of potato, onion, flour, eggs and seasonings. They are then cooked in vegetable oil and served warm with traditional latke sides (applesauce and sour cream).
Wow. Just wow. It's like wartime rationing when they stretch the meat with grains... but totally deep-fried. Wow.
