Potato Latkes

Often Eaten during the season celbrated as Hanukkah are Potato Latkes. They are fried in oil to commemorate the miracle in the Bible of the oil not running out. After the Jews won their rebellion against their Syrian rulers in 164 BCE, they found their holy temple had been desecrated. They had only enough untainted olive oil to light the menorah for a single day, but miraculously, the candles stayed lit for eight days, giving them time to restock their supply. So in honor of that oil, Jews deep fry.

Ingredients

• 3 lb. large russet potatoes (4–6)
• 1 lb. Vidalia or yellow onions (about 2 medium)
• 1/4 cup fine plain dried breadcrumbs
• 3 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
• 2–3 large eggs
• 2 tablespoons (or more) schmaltz (chicken fat; optional)
• 2-4 tablespoons (or more) vegetable oil
• Applesauce, sour cream, cranberry sauce or almost anything you want to eat them with (for serving)

Recipe Preparation

• Preheat oven to 325°. Peel potatoes. Using the large holes of a box grater or the grater disk on a food processor, grate potatoes and onions. Transfer to a large kitchen towel. Gather ends of towel; twist over sink and squeeze firmly to wring out as much liquid as possible. Open towel; toss mixture to loosen. Gather towel; wring out once more.
• Whisk breadcrumbs, salt, baking powder, pepper, and 2 eggs in a medium bowl to blend. Add potato mixture. Using your fingers, mix until well coated. Latke mixture should be wet and thick, not soupy; mix in remaining egg if mixture is too dry and doesn't hold together.
• Line a large rimmed baking sheet with several layers of paper towels. Set a wire rack inside another large rimmed baking sheet; set aside. Heat 2 tablespoons schmaltz, if using, and 2 tablespoons oil (or 4 tablespoons oil if not using schmaltz; fat should measure about 1/8 inches) in a 12 inches nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Drop a small amount of latke mixture into pan. If the fat sizzles around the edges, it's ready. (Do not let fat smoke.)
• Working in batches and adding more schmaltz and oil to skillet as needed to maintain 1/8 inches fat, drop large spoonfuls of mixture into pan, pressing gently with the back of a spoon or spatula to flatten slightly. (If mixture becomes watery between batches, mix to incorporate; do not drain.)
• Cook latkes, occasionally rotating pan for even browning, until golden brown and cooked through, 2 1/2-3 minutes per side. (If small pieces of potato floating in the oil start to burn, carefully strain out.)
• Transfer latkes to paper towel-lined baking sheet to drain, then transfer to prepared wire rack. Place sheet with latkes in oven to keep warm and crisp while cooking remaining latkes.
• Serve warm latkes with applesauce and sour cream.

Jesus was eating fresh food all the time. He never got sick nor needed a doctor. He is a wonderful example on how our diet should be.

Fish
Seafood was another staple in the Bible. However, only certain fish and other seafood were suitable for eating. According to Leviticus 11:9, edible seafood had to have fins and scales. Shellfish was prohibited. Today we know that fish such as Trout, Salmon, Cod, Red Snapper, and many others are high in protein and healthy omega fats, which can help reduce inflammation, lower blood pressure, and provide many other health benefits. Shrimp & Lobster for example are forbidden foods. Did you know that they are filled with cholesterol and their own feces? We have only eaten trout during the past 7 1/2 years for the following reason:

• Matthew 15:36
• John 21:11-13
• Radiation from Fukushima has polluted all sea waters now, no matter how remote. We do not eat any other kind of fish anymore:
