Potato Latkes

**found in Gourmet Magazine December 2000

Makes 12-16 latkes
active time: 45 minutes Start to finish: 45 minutes

1 lb potatoes
1/2 cup finely chopped onion
1 large egg, lightly beaten
1/2 tsp salt
1/2-3/4 cup olive oil

**Use a dollop of Sour cream or Applesauce 

1. Preheat oven to 250 degrees

2. Peel potatoes and coarsely grate by hand, transferring to a large bowl of cold water as grated.  Soak potatoes 1-2 minutes after last batch is added to water, then drain well in a colander.

3.  Spread grated potatoes and onion on a kitchen towel and roll up jelly-roll style.  Twist towel tightly to wring out as much liquid as possible.  Transfer potato mixture to a bowl and stir in egg and salt.

4.  Heat 1/4 cup oil in a 12-inch nonstick skillet over moderately high heat until hot but not smoking.  Working in batches of 4 latkes, spoon 2 tbsp potato mixture per latke into skillet, spreading into 3-inch rounds with a fork.  Reduce heat to moderate and cook until undersides are browned, about 5 minutes.  Turn latkes over and cook until undersides are browned, about 5 minutes.  Transfer to paper towels to drain and season with salt.  Add more oil to skillet as needed.  Keep latkes warm on a wire rack set in a shallow baking pan in oven.

Cooks' notes:

Latkes may be made up to 8 hours ahead.  Reheat on a rack set over a baking sheet in a 350 degree oven, about 5 minutes.

Enjoy!

Magnolia Bakery-Cream Cheese Frosting

Another amazing frosting recipe from Magnolia!  I swear by these recipes, this is my go-to book for icing when I bake!! 1 pound (two 8-ounce packages) cream cheese, softened and cut into small pieces 6 tbsp. unsalted butter, softened and cut into small pieces 1 1/2 tsp. pure vanilla extract 5 cups sifted confectioners' sugar In a large bowl, on the medium speed of an electric mixer, beat the cream cheese and butter until smooth, about 3 minutes.  Add the vanilla and beat well.  Gradually add the sugar, 1 cup at a time, beating continuously until smooth and creamy.  Cover and refrigerate icing for 2-3 hours, but no longer, to thicken before using. Makes enough for one 2-or 3-layer 9-inch cake Enjoy! xoxo Julie www.goodiegoodiegluten-free.blogspot.com  

Not All Advil Is Gluten-Free!!!

After last night's POST , GF Advil was on my mind and I decided to call Advil/Pfizer this morning to get some more clarification.  In response to my post last night I advised through the website that Advil Liqui-gels, Advil Migraine and Advil Liqui-Gels PM contain a wheat derivative.  After my phone call with a lovely representative I received more information. - ALL ADVIL LIQUI-GELS contain a wheat derivative .   ALL LIQUI-GELS.  So stop these immediately if you are taking the Liqui-gels.  You maybe getting sick from a medication rather then a food and this is so important to recognize!  Just steer clear of Liqui-Gels. -ALL FORMS OF ADVIL MIGRAINE contain gluten .  There is no further information if it is just the Liqui-Gels or the Tablets, Caplets and Gel-Caps.  Pfizer does not have this info therefore they informed me to steer clear of all Advil Migraine pills. Here is what IS GLUTEN-FREE FROM ADVIL: All Advil Tablets, Gel...
