Twice Cooked Potato Latke Recipe
Can a potato latke recipe that’s twice cooked be twice as good as a traditional potato latke? No, but in some ways, it can be even better!
Hanukkah starts today and it’s customary to eat foods that are either fried in oil or made with cheese. So is it any wonder that my favourite part of the celebration is eating potato latkes?!
To kick off the celebration, we developed this make ahead recipe.
Easy Chicken Curry Recipe
This easy chicken curry recipe is fast to get on the table during the week! Because curries are so quick, like this Thai chicken curry, we fall back on them around the holidays when there’s so little time to cook. It’s also our go to when we’re too tired to cook because there’s so little prep work (especially when you already have left over rice).
Oven Pork Back Ribs – In a Pressure Cooker!
Oven pork back ribs are awesome on the grill as a last step, but sometimes that isn’t possible during the winter. So this is the next best thing! And these oven pork back ribs are super fast too because the first step is to use a pressure cooker (or instant pot)! No need to even marinate or let the spice rub sit on the ribs; the pressure cooker does all the work of penetrating flavour into the meat. You can have fall off the bone sweet, caramelized and slightly sticky ribs in just over an hour!
If I’m being honest, we prefer these to just about every rib we’ve had at a rib fest cooked low and slow for hours! They even have that smoky flavour thanks to liquid smoke!
