We are no strangers to delicious and fun latke mash-ups for Hanukkah. But this year Mile End Deli in New York City is featuring a double-fried fantastical creation in partnership with Abe Fisher in Philadelphia that we are seriously drooling over: latkes poutine.
They are taking one enormous potato latke, cutting it into fry-like strips, frying it again and then topping it all with classic cheddar cheese curds and a smoked mushroom gravy. That’s right – smoked mushroom gravy. So even you vegetarians can enjoy this crazy concoction. But don’t take our word for it – watch below and then get your tuchus over to Mile End to taste it while it lasts. While you’re there you might as well order some classic latkes, one of their famous smoked-meat sandwiches and a classic poutine for good measure.
