Part of what makes the traditional Thanksgiving stuffing so irresistible is its delicious blend of lightly crisped top and sides with a tender and moist inside.
Turns out that combination also happens to be the mark of a great fried potato latke, one of the most iconic foods of Hanukkah. And since this year marks the rare convergence of Thanksgiving and the first day of Hanukkah, we decided to see whether we could unite these classic comfort foods in one dish.
The result is a wonderfully rich stuffing topped by a crispy layer of fried latkes. And it’s good enough that you may want to make it for years to come, regardless of when Hanukkah or Thanksgiving fall on the calendar.
