It's inevitable that sometime during the eight days of Hanukkah, I'll be making latkes. And when I do, I'll be preparing Moroccan Potato Latkes, created by two sisters, Vicky and Ruth, who grew up in Barcelona, Spain. Vicky and Ruth are Chief Foodie Officers at mayihavethatrecipe.com, a fabulous food blog, where they share fresh, seasonal, vegan, vegetarian and kosher recipes with an ethnic flair.
I met the sisters, who live near me in Southern New Jersey, through a mutual friend. I was delighted that they agreed to provide these recipes for the holiday.
Both sisters enjoy matchmaking in the kitchen. That's how they came up with the recipe for Moroccan Potato Latkes. "Can you think of a better marriage between two traditions? The Sephardic flavors of all Moroccan spices pair nicely with the traditional Ashkenazi Hanukkah favorite," said Ruth.
"Maybe not a match made in heaven, but in our kitchen, with love, from us to you," added Vicky.

I think I am going to try their recipe for Fresh Cranberry, Pear & Chianti Chutneyβit sounds yummy. I love cranberries. If you want a sweet treat, check out the sisters' recipe for Moroccan Cinnamon Cookies β Montecaos. OMG, they brought me some of these cookies when we met and I couldn't stop eating them when I got home. They are simply scrumptious.
The latkes are gluten-free, but the cookies are not. The cookies are vegan.
