A Trio of Latkes with Miriam Rubin

Latke lovers! Join food writer and cookbook author Miriam Rubin for an online Zoom class exploring these delicious fried potato pancakes. Are latkes only made with white potatoes? No! We’ll make the classic, of course, but will also learn a fabulous sweet potato version plus a riff on the standard, adding sautéed spinach and carrots for color and even more flavor. We hope you’ll cook along with Miriam in your own kitchen, so get your skillets ready! You may choose to make just one of the recipes, totally up to you. Or, if you prefer, simply watch, take notes and make these recipes at a later time. Also discussed during the class will be latke toppings.
