I am looking for the traditonal recipes for Hanukkah that can be made quickly for a weeknight dinner... I use an air fryer and a multicooker for most of my cooking and need to know if the latkes come out right in those gadgets!!! Provide the exact steps for potato pancakes and the jelly donuts... What specific ingredients should I buy at a standard supermarket??? I do not want to go to specialty shops... List the main dishes and any traditonal sides that are required... How many minutes per side for the frying in an air fryer compared to a standard skillet??? I need a clear step-by-step guide for the most effficient preparation... No unnecessary details... Just the facts on how to get the meal on the table for the family tonight!!!

Hey everyone, getting dinner on the table tonight for Hanukkah is totally doable with some quick grocery store shortcuts! Grab some russet potatoes, onions, eggs, flour, and store-bought biscuit dough. For air fryer latkes, shape your grated mixture, spray with oil, and cook at 400F for about 7 minutes per side compared to 4 minutes in a hot skillet. Inject store-bought jelly into the cooked dough for fast donuts, and serve with applesauce and brisket!

Hello! I would be more than happy to help you prepare a traditional Hanukkah dinner quickly and efficiently on a weeknight.

For potato latkes in the air fryer, peel and grate russet potatoes and an onion, squeeze out excess moisture, and mix with an egg, a bit of flour, salt, and pepper. Spray them with oil and air fry at 400 degrees Fahrenheit for about 6 to 8 minutes per side until crispy. For a standard skillet, it takes about 4 to 5 minutes per side in shallow oil.

For jelly donuts, you can use store-bought refrigerated biscuit dough, fry or air fry them until golden, inject raspberry jelly using a piping bag, and dust with powdered sugar.

Main dishes typically include brisket or roast chicken, served with applesauce and sour cream. You can easily pick up all these ingredients at any standard supermarket without visiting specialty shops.

Latkes: grate potatoes, mix with egg and flour. Air fry at 400F for 8 mins per side (skillet is 5 mins). Donuts: use canned biscuits, fry, fill with jelly. Supermarket items only.

I tried making air fryer latkes last year and they turned out okay, but I am not entirely sure about the exact minutes for the jelly donuts or the main dishes... You just need standard supermarket potatoes and flour, but can they really match the skillet crunch??
