Traditional Latkes via Molly Goldberg

Molly Goldberg was a gossipy Jewish-American housewife in the Bronx who liked to chat across her kitchen window with her neighbors in the show “ e Goldbergs,” which started on radio in 1929 and in 1949 moved to television and ran until 1954. Molly was played by actress Gertrude Berg. In 1955, Berg wrote and published e Molly Goldberg Jewish Cookbook. My grandmother and mother adored this book, which is lled with traditional Ashkenazic Jewish recipes— everything om blintzes and ge lte sh to matzo brei and borscht. My mom still has it. ey made their latkes omit, although my Nana added the eggbread (also known as Challah) to the recipe. We still make it this way.
