In my latke post on the Chanuka string, I mentioned my brother's synagogue cookbook, and that reminded me that in that cookbook, which has several latke recipes, some comedian decided to have a little fun with the "San Francisco Gay Jewish Cooking" theme. Here it is (and you can probably reverse engineer it to see his original recipe).
Latkes Nouvelle California
1 pound baby new red potatoes, unpeeled, of course, and hand chopped until very fine
3 shallots, peeled and minced
3 fresh poussin eggs, lightly beaten in a white porcelain bowl
3 tablespoons fresh blue corn tortilla chip crumbs
2 pinches fresh-ground pepper ordinaire
3 pinches seas salt, or to taste
1/2 cup walnut oil
Gently fold together all of the ingredients except the oil.
Heat one-quarter inch of walnut oil in a Teflon spider (skillet) over a mequite charcoal fire.
Using a stainless steel or silver tablespoon, drop the batter into the oil to form four-inch crepes and fry on one side until matte golden ecru.
Turn gently with a Teflon spatula and finish the second side.
Drain immediately on an all-cotton towel.
Serve at once with one or more of the following garnishes: sliced kiwi fruit, hamachi sushi, fresh peppermint yogurt and/or wild raspberry chutney.
