My thoughts:

I've had the sentiment for sauerkraut-spiked latkes for some years now. I know this because I have got a blank draft entitled "Sauerkraut Latkes" dated 2009. Finally, I have got really made them! An aside: we celebrate both Christmas too Hanukkah but somehow it is the non-Jewish individual (me) who makes the latkes every twelvemonth too it was the Jewish individual (my husband) who wanted a Christmas tree (which we lastly bought too direct off have got upwards with only nutrient ornaments).

Anyway, we both honey sauerkraut hence I am certainly that is why I had the sentiment too hence ignored it all these years. As my hubby says, at that topographic signal is nada that epitomizes Jewish nutrient improve than combining fatty, starchy too pickled foods too these latkes hitting all three. They are super yummy, of course, too y'all lot have got to swallow fried foods for Hanukkah hence why non operate crazy! We ate an embarrassing amount of these at inwards 1 sitting. They got super crispy (maybe give cheers y'all lot to using alone white patato starch? I unremarkably build latke using either alone matzo meal or a combo) silent existent tender inside. You want them golden chocolate-brown inside, likewise lite too the insides mightiness non alive cooked enough. The sauerkraut added a prissy tang but wasn't overpowering. I'd totally build these again. And mayhap laissez passer on them with some lox to alive fancy.

Some notes:

• Russet (i.e. baking) potatoes only, y'all lot accept away a starchy, "dry" potato. 
• Potato starch tin give the sack alive institute anywhere y'all lot tin give the sack buy "Jewish" or kosher groceries. Japanese, Korean or Filipino grocery stores should have got it too. Use the leftovers to build karaage.
• You tin give the sack role homemade or jarred sauerkraut (we haven't made sauerkraut silent this twelvemonth hence I used Wildbrine Sauerkraut I bought at Costco which is pretty shut to my homemade version)
