Like Wolfgang Puck, I married a Jewish person, and now I make his latkes for Chanukah every year! They are delicious, and the lox are such a fun addition. For the girl who didn't grow up with latkes, these are a recipe I'll pass on someday when I have kids :

We made these New Year's Day, they were very simple to prepare and the outcome was both delicious and very beautiful. We used organic potatoes and fried them in grapeseed oil (grapeseed oil is tasteless. I would certainly make these again.
