Cauliflower-Potato Latkes

  • 1 cup cauliflower florets
  • 1-1/2 cups mashed potatoes
  • 3 tablespoons matzoh meal
  • 2 teaspoons minced garlic
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon white pepper
  • 1 egg, beaten
  • 2 tablespoons kasha
  • 4 to 6 tablespoons margarine or butter

In a large pot of salted boiling water, cook cauliflower until very soft, about 10 to 15 minutes. Drain and pat dry. In a mixing bowl, mash cauliflower to small bits. Add mashed potatoes, matzoh meal, garlic, salt, pepper, and egg, and blend thoroughly. Shape into 12 patties 3 inches in diameter and about 1/2 inch thick. Sprinkle with kasha, pressing into both sides. Melt 3 tablespoons butter/margarine in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Fry latkes, adding more butter/margarine as necessary, until they are browned and crust is crisp, about 3 minutes per side. Drain on paper towels. Serve hot.

    This day in Jewish history

    • First ship to break the British blockade of Palestine, 1934. (Worldwide publicity of "illegal" immigration of Jews to Israel was an important factor in England's ultimate decision to give up the mandate.)
