Cheese Latkes - The Jewish Standard

Chanukah traditionally inspires culinary activities in the kitchen. Below is a new spin on Chanukah – a recipe for potato-cheddar latkes from Ulises Gold, the sous chef at the Sheraton Tel Aviv Hotel.

Tnuva recently introduced new items including cheddar, mozzarella, and muenster cheeses. They are Cholov Yisroel, (strictly supervised from the farm to the final packaging) by the New Square Rabbinical Kashrus Council, the Orthodox Union, and the united Mehadrin Hechsherim under the Va’ad Mehadrin Council. Israeli hotel chefs use a variety of Tnuva dairy and cheese products as part of their breakfast presentations and in the hotels’ gourmet restaurants.

Hag Sameach everyone!
