Make perfect latkes and applesauce from scratch. In this class, you'll learn tips to perfectly season your latkes and avoid pesky spatters and oil flare ups. We'll talk about choosing potatoes, apples and oil, but you can use whatever you have on hand. Chef Laura will also introduce you to her "put a little veggie in it" concept so you can fortify your latkes with something green or not. And regardless, they will get gobbled up because they are fried and smothered in homemade applesauce.
