Latke Fries

Chef Mike Fardoe,

Bernstein’s Deli

Chef Mike and owner Aaron Bernstein created latke fries for poutine week a few years ago, and they were such a hit, they became a menu staple. For this recipe riff, the latke potato mixture is first baked, then deep-fried, to achieve a super crisp bite. Shifting the shape also means there are no limits to what you dip them in.
