I don't happen to be Jewish, but I managed to make these potato latkes. We ate the rest of the batch, and decided they are pretty good, even without sour cream. Their deep-fried goodness would fit right in an Indiana breakfast buffet, right between the hash browns and the grits.
I think I got this scene right. Those are foil wrapped chocolate coins that are called "Chanukkah Gelt".
For those that are curious, latkes don't wear yarmulkes. Ask any Rabbi. So don't give me any pointers on that!
Thanks to a Facebook friend, Juliana, and Hagar, from Israel, for their special help on this one.

How fun!
I have friends that celebrate both. I 've shared this blog with so many of them already!
Happy Holidays, or not, whatever YOUR persuasion is!
Well done! May everyone's winter season/holiday be joyous!
This is awesome! I just hope the gelt isn't from China!
Nice work! It's the thought that counts, but the art (and effort) is a nice bonus!!
Thank you thank you, and a Merry Christmas to you!

Put some apple sauce on your next latkes!
I agree with hacocacyb; some sour cream and applesauce, Yum!
Hope your Holiday is filled with Peace and Happiness Terry!
I love those little latkes! They are having such fun, on their little bent knees, spinning that draydle. So cute! Thanks for the fun!nizes
those are adorable !
this is so lovely, sir!
I've been a religious follower of your blog for a long time, way before the fancy banner or the Etsy Shop.
This just made me smile because my mother made latkes the other day, promising us a full blown, traditional Hanukkah dinner.
Of course something went wrong and dinner went to hell, but the latkes were good.
I'm sending this link over to her, to make her smile.
Happy Holidays!!
Oh! I love the photo! How can one not smile..... :)
Im so glad this post was a success! See Terry ... nothing to worry about. :) I still smile when I look at it and have made many of my friends and family check out the site to have a peek and a smile.
Is this going to be part of your holiday card collection? If so I would definately be buying it.
I love the potato pancakes & the Christmas posts. Our Polish Christmas Eve celebration always includes plenty of potatos.
Cool site. I enjoyed your bent objects.
