Okay, we get it: Hanukkah and Thanksgiving coincide this year. And while we've seen some really great hybrid holiday ideas and recipes popping up, it's getting to be a little much. So instead of serving your latkes alongside your turkey, pick a day to do your potato frying that's separate to give both awesome holidays the attention they deserve. Here are six recipes to get you started (the first one is our absolute favorite).

    Extra-Large Latkes

    These two skillet-size latkes are a faster, smoother road to party time. Serve right away or make in advance and let the guests slice their own pieces.
