Nanas latkes are a traditional dish among Ashkenazi Jews. They are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. Made with potatoes, onions, matzo meal, and eggs, these latkes are crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. They are typically served with applesauce and sour cream, but can also be enjoyed with other toppings such as guacamole, salsa, or hummus. Nanas latkes are a great way to use up leftover potatoes and are a perfect addition to any brunch or dinner menu.

MY NANA'S LACE COOKIES
These are delicate lace cookies with an amazing taste! A tradition in our family for Christmas since I was a little girl. These cookies spread to make a very thin wafer, almost transparent. Super easy to make, but be careful, as they can be quick to burn or cool too much on your cookie sheet - and then you'll be chipping the cookies off of your cookie sheet! I hope you enjoy these as much as my family does. Store in an airtight container until serving.

NAAN
This recipe makes the best naan I have tasted outside of an Indian restaurant. I can't make enough of it for my family. I serve it with shish kabobs, but I think they would eat it plain.

Steps:
- In a large bowl, dissolve yeast in warm water. Let stand about 10 minutes, until frothy. Stir in sugar, milk, egg, salt, and enough flour to make a soft dough. Knead for 6 to 8 minutes on a lightly floured surface, or until smooth. Place dough in a well oiled bowl, cover with a damp cloth, and set aside to rise. Let it rise 1 hour, until the dough has doubled in volume.
- Punch down dough, and knead in garlic. Pinch off small handfuls of dough about the size of a golf ball. Roll into balls, and place on a tray. Cover with a towel, and allow to rise until doubled in size, about 30 minutes.
- During the second rising, preheat grill to high heat.
- At grill side, roll one ball of dough out into a thin circle. Lightly oil grill. Place dough on grill, and cook for 2 to 3 minutes, or until puffy and lightly browned. Brush uncooked side with butter, and turn over. Brush cooked side with butter, and cook until browned, another 2 to 4 minutes. Remove from grill, and continue the process until all the naan has been prepared.

Steps:
- Peel potatoes, and keep in cold water until you are ready to grate them.
- Grate the potatoes coarsely by hand (or with a Cuisinart using first the shredding blade then the blending blade). The mixture should be slightly lumpy and not too blended. Add the beaten eggs. Mix in up to 1 cup of flour. Add a little salt. The batter should be fairly liquid and not too thick.
- Heat about a half-inch of vegetable oil in a frying pan. When the oil is very hot, use a soupspoon as a measure to put small amounts of the batter in the oil. Fry the pancakes on one side, then the other, until they have turned brown on both sides and are crispy around the edges.
- Drain the pancakes on paper towels that have been placed on a platter atop a saucepan of simmering hot water or keep warm in the oven.

Tips:
- Choose the right potatoes: For the best latkes, use starchy potatoes like russet or Yukon Gold. These potatoes will hold together well and give your latkes a crispy exterior and a fluffy interior.
- Grate the potatoes finely: This will help the latkes cook evenly. You can use a food processor fitted with a grating blade or a box grater.
- Squeeze out the excess moisture from the potatoes: This will help prevent the latkes from becoming soggy. You can use a cheesecloth or a clean kitchen towel to squeeze out the moisture.
- Season the potatoes generously: Latkes should be well-seasoned with salt and pepper. You can also add other spices, such as garlic powder, onion powder, or paprika.
- Use a well-seasoned cast iron skillet: A well-seasoned cast iron skillet will help you achieve a crispy exterior on your latkes. If you don't have a cast iron skillet, you can use a non-stick skillet.
- Cook the latkes over medium heat: This will help them cook evenly without burning. Be patient and don't overcrowd the skillet.
- Serve the latkes hot and crispy: Latkes are best served hot and crispy. You can serve them with sour cream, apple sauce, or your favorite dipping sauce.
Conclusion:
Latkes are a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. They are easy to make and can be customized to your liking. With a few simple tips, you can make perfect latkes every time.
